When Philosophy Editor James assigned his bloggers to write on the subject of Philosophy, Hannah immediately went to Homer, but which one?
By Hannah Hall
Two great men of not so equal intellect are Homer Simpson and Homer the Greek writer. Despite their differences, they each spit up quotes worth pondering. It can be hard to differentiate the two’s words; they are each philosophical in their own way. Now, I present to you a little game called Who said what?!! Ah, yes, you may think this is easy, but no no my friend; it is not as it seems. You may do this on your own and just read the quotes below, but if you would like to be interactive (recommended for fun), I have created a lil’ quiz!
Here is the link: https://forms.gle/w3bX72mC5TPtkbm78
If you don’t take the link, try the Who said what?!!” Quiz below:
