Home ยป Questions on Mother, Sri Aurobindo and Savitri ยป Dear Alok da, Sri Aurobindo has left Ilion at an interesting juncture, when Achilles and Penthesilea meet each other..I want to read what happens next. Would you please suggest some references/authors to read in English(though it might not have the rasa as Ilion:( )?๐โจ๐ธโ๏ธ๐ฅ
You can read the prose translation of the original epic of Homer, The Iliad, and, The Odyssey. Both are wonderful books. The original is in Greek poetry which will only end up justifying the phrase ‘it is all Roman and Greek’. Of course nothing can even remotely compare to Sri Aurobindoโs Ilion. But as stories / novel I had found both very interesting.
Affectionately,
Alok Da
