Three shitposts for the price of zero. Quadruple your satisfaction or half your money back!
Greeks – The Illiad
Romans – The Aeneid, Virgil
Byzantines – ???
Ottomans – The Quran
Catholics – Divine Comedy
Protestants – Paradise Lost (probably, haven’t read it yet)
Modern era – Faust
Aeoli Pera 
Some eastern civilizations for you.
Islamic Golden Age (Arabized Persia) – One Thousand and One Nights
China – Four Great Classical Novels

India – Gita
Mesopotamia – Epic of Gilgamesh
I haven’t read any Egyptian works to pass judgement on them.
Agree completely on Greeks, Romans, Catholics, and Moderns. Reading the Illiad and the Odyssey together it’s pretty clear that they are part of a larger structure. Eh, who cares. We’ll never hear the rest of it.
Nice, thanks. I’ll read these to confirm, but I trust your judgment on this.
I lied! I have read some of ‘the’ Book of the Dead. There is no definitive text. Each was a made to order funerary rite. Not sure how representative that is of the greater Egyptian civilization as I have nothing else to compare it with. Soon I will though as it looks like a number of Egyptian works will be published in English for the first time:

Pilgrim’s Progress= Protestants.
The City of God= Catholics.
Where does Chaucer fit in? Just Englishmen?
How about Don Quijote for the Spanish?
Here are some:
Havamal, Edda saga–Norsemen
Beowulf, Widsith, Deor–Anglo-Saxons
Pali Canon–Buddhists
Popol Vuh–Mayans
Marabharata–India
Mabinogion–Britons/Welsh
Lay of Hildebrand, Nibelungenslied–Germany
Tain Bo Cuailnge, Lebor Gabala Erenn–Ireland
Assipattle & Stoor Worm–Scotland [Orkney]
Birth of a Nation–America
Gone with the Wind–The Confederacy
Track of the Jew through the ages–National socialists
Book of the Dead–Egypt
Bardo Thodol–Tibet
Matter of France, Les Misearbles–France
Markens Grøde–Norway
Kalevala-Finland
Tale of Genji–Japan
Liber al Vel Legis–Occultists
Thus Spoke Zarathustra–Nihilists
Talmud–Jews
Anime–weirdos
Disagree with Thus Spoke Zarathustra. Nietzsche gets misinterpreted as a nihilist though he isn’t. In my opinion his work is directed at creating a TT Aristocracy.
Hey Ive been reading your blog for a few months now. You have some really great ideas and I love what you, Koanic, Tex and the commentors put out. Its fantastic and always provides some mental stimulation. I never really felt compelled to comment until today though.
Id hardly call this a shitpost. I would include City Of God with the Catholic tradition. Also the listlessness of the characters in The Sun Also Rises reminds me of the modern era. The Quran is probably closer to tribal Arabia than it is the Ottoman Empire. None of this blog is shit, its interesting, keep posting.
I’ll try, thanks.
Russia?
Dunno, I’m not familiar enough with their history to even know if they’ve had a golden era. It seems that their culture ended completely with the Bolshevik uprising, but they seem to have had a good thing going in the 19th century.
Eastern Orthodoxy – The River of Fire, Alexandre Kalomiros. All Christians should read it. FREE version: http://www.orthodoxebooks.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/The%20River%20Of%20Fire%20-%20Doctor%20Alexandre%20Kalomiros.pdf
Gnosticism – The Mystical Qabalah, Dion Fortune. I dislike her freudianism but overall it is a great work. FREE version: http://selfdefinition.org/tarot/Dion-Fortune-Mystical-Qabala.pdf
