Is it wrong to read prose adaptions of epic poems?
because that's what I've been doing.

i once had my high school teacher taking me and my class to a theater where an actor read some excerpts of the odyssey in prose. it was very much meh. i was even handed a booklet with the "translation". honestly confronting the two versions, i didn't see much of a difference or a need for it.
but how could actors eat if teachers didn't force their pupils to see their pointless, uninspired work?

He just read it out loud? He didn't even act it out or anything?

I wish I knew German to read Kafka. I'd need a very good understanding to really enjoy it that way. I tried learning other languages and I just can't seem to do it.

German prose is never that amazing. It's just the nature of the language.
German poetry on the other hand shit man are you missing out on that sweet sweet Goethe.
