One of the Modern Scholar's most popular professors, Timothy B. Shutt, brings his literary acumen and trademark enthusiasm to the study of the epic poems that sit at the very wellspring of Western culture. The earliest surviving works of Greek literature, Homer's Iliad and Odyssey exert a continuing influence on modern culture, even today shaping people's values and conduct. In the tales of Achilles and Hector, of Odysseus and Penelope, Homer explored the notion of arete, which translates as "excellence" or "virtue". In these illuminating lectures, Professor Shutt delves into these great works, illustrating in fascinating detail the nature of their continuing relevance.
