The illiad is in an ancient ancient form of greek from the bronze/iron age but Koine greek is just the later variation of it in the Hellenistic period do you mean like reading the new testament?

It's more than just a later variation. By about 100 AD the Greeks were struggling to understand the Iliad. By now, that language is pretty much incomprehensible to modern Greeks.

Prophet!” said I, “thing of evil!—prophet still, if bird or devil!

By that Heaven that bends above us—by that God we both adore—

Tell this soul with sorrow laden if, within the distant Aidenn,

It shall clasp a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore—

Clasp a rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore.”

       Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”

I love that movie. Last year I began reading pale fire up to the entirety of the poem and this reminds me I have to pick up that book again from the beginning this year. That “baseline” part is the guy who wrote the poem describing having a heart attack.

I didn't even know it was from a book until I looked it up to make sure I was quoting it properly. It does make me a bit intrigued to read it.

The book is super weird, without spoiling it is about a creepy stalker writing a commentary on a poem written by an English lit professor named John Shade who recently died, and whom he used to stalk. The poem has 999 lines and it narrates John shade live. The tall white fountain is supposed to symbolize the afterlife. Later he enthusiastically meets a woman who also had a near death experience who supposedly saw a white fountain only to be disappointed it was a different hallucination. Parallels to K believing he’s human only to find out he’s not. Definitely worth reading.

I never read Lolita either, but I’ll give it a try sometime in the future. Nabokov is considered a master of the “unreliable narrator”, so regardless of the book you should always take anything the narrator says with a huge grain of salt.

Here you go : "Write me a villanelle about John Wick"

John Wick, the Baba Yaga's name,

A legend of death, a man of fame,

His foes fall hard, to his deadly game.

A dark past, his demons to blame,

But revenge is his, his foes to maim,

John Wick, the Baba Yaga's name.

No mercy given, no mercy to claim,

His will of steel, a burning flame,

His foes fall hard, to his deadly game.

With guns in hand, his aim so tame,

His shots so precise, no need for aim,

John Wick, the Baba Yaga's name.

He fights alone, no need for a team,

His will so strong, a force supreme,

His foes fall hard, to his deadly game.

His path of vengeance, a relentless stream,

But his love for his wife, a constant theme,

John Wick, the Baba Yaga's name,

His foes fall hard, to his deadly game.

Poetry may be one of the few truly dying artforms. With its fanbase and prestige lost to novels, recorded music, and television/film, it is now disgraced before death as foids who were dumb enough to get English Degrees vainly hijack it and its prestigious institutions to try to lend themselves legitimacy, but no one cares anymore.
