I stumbled across your channel a few days ago and I can say without a doubt you are one of my new favorite RUclipsrs. The contents of your works, both comedic and dramatic, are delights to listen to. Your tone and cadence when reading is absolutely unmatched, and your voice is without a doubt a gift. Live long and prosper.
I watched your Grover video before this one and knew right then that you were a man of the classics. No one writes that well without having read a lot of great works.
Much as I like this poem, my dude had been gone for 20 years at that point. Pretty sure as soon as the dust had settled from seeing all those squatters off he would have burned the damned boats and just kicked back with some wine.
This poem is about the Ulysses of the divine comedy, who after a while at home in Ithaca began to wish for distant shores again, and set out to seek lands beyond the Pillars of Hercules.
@@calebgriffin4214 Cool. Never could make myself wade that far into the Divine Comedy. Just finished rereading the Iliad, though, and in light of that, I have to admit it does kind of fit. The Greek heroes were just built different.
IIRC, his interpretation came from Ulysses from Dante’s representation of him in the Divine Comedy. In it, Ulysses has long since returned, and now longs to venture forth into the world again

Thank you for your kind words, friend
I absolutely agree
Actually would pay for an entire Illiad reading. Same as Moby Dick.
Entire Iliad livestream when?
The governance in this man's voice is absolute

Thank you, but I didn't write the Grover video. I credited the author in the description. I have read a lot of classical literature though.
Imagine your voice with any orphic hymn, that would be epic af
(you) sir, have a powerful voice.
congrats
Amazing, you have a great and excellently fitting voice for reading poetry and other texts like these
Fellow greeks rise, let us rejoice in the words of old spoken once more
Love the last piece of music... Funeral march for Queen Anne...

In middle school, we'd purposely mispronounce Ulysses as "U-lie-si-says" to annoy our teacher

Could you do 'The Last Hero' by G K Chesterton? It's right up your alley.

AVE IMPERATOR
I think that Alfred Tennyson decided to ignore tgat Ulysses did not want to go to Troy and did not wanted to travel for 10 years.
