Of c ou r se, eve r yone knows about mega-hits like “Genshin Impact” and “Black Myth:Wukong”,but what about all those lesser-known Chinese games quietly taking over app stores worldwide? These games are raking in the dough, using localization that is so good that Western players are too excited to realize the game they’re obsessed with is from China. Let’s talk numbers:in 2024, Chinese-developed games made a whopping USD 18.557 billion overseas, up 13.39%from the year before.展开更多

An intertextual study of these texts shows that Tennyson's Ulysses resonates with Homer's Iliad and Odyssey in a profound and multidimensional way. The former is largely informed by the latter in setting, event, perception of death, heroism and so forth. A sequel to the Homeric epics, Tennyson's Ulysses however also ingeniously rewrites the fate of Achilles, thus adding a more humanistic dimension to the classical texts.展开更多

His two great works, Iliad and Odyssey, present certain events of the mythical Trojan War and its aftermath. Both were called Homeric epics. They are the head of western literature. Iliad and Odyssey had their own value and had profound influence on European literature. Many subsequent European writers were strongly affected by these two works during their literary creation. For this reason, we could find the vestiges of Homeric epics in many western works. Meanwhile, Homeric epics still left a good many allusions and legends which offered rich subject matters to European literature.展开更多
