Scheduled & Proposed Book Discussions > Suggestions for Future CLASSICS Books discussions
Nominations for our next Classics books discussion
BooksAdmin:
We've completed Homer's Odyssey and now need nominations for the next Classics book that we'll read together.
Please give us your nomination!
Frybabe:
Suetonius - The Twelve Caesars
or
The only complete Latin novel to survive, The Golden Ass - Lucius Apuleius
JoanR:
I would like to suggest "Antigone" by Sophocles. It is, I think, mainly about the conflict between man-made law and what an individual believes to be divine law.
Another suggestion would be "The Aeneid" which might logically follow the Odyssey being set after the fall of Troy.
A lot of choices out there!!!!!!!!!!! All good!
kidsal:
Suggest:
Epic of Gilgamesh
The Shahnamek: The Persian Book of Kings

I would like to try the Aenid if there is a brave soul to lead it. The blurb on my book says that it is the Roman answer to Homer.
If you all want something lighter and much , much shorter how about Lysistrata by Aristophanes. I saw the play many , many years ago but never read it. It's about women who wish to stop the Pelopennisian wars and organize . They refuse to have sex with their husbands till peace is negotiated.
