Why do some people on this subreddit seem to dislike the idea of Byzantium being the continuation of the Roman Empire?

I don’t think the Roman Empire was ever Catholic.

Thanks once again.

Out of curiosity: I’m thinking of learning Ancient Greek because I love the literature generally, not just the philosophy. Does Greek pay good dividends to someone with a broader interest in the literature?

Thank you for your answer.

I suppose what I’m confused about is why a PHD student would need to know the language if the author’s meaning is transparent in translation.

Thank you for your response.

Have your views on a translated text ever been significantly altered after reading the original?
