Homer on the Gods and Human Virtue: Creating the Foundations of Classical Civilization
Ahrensdorf, Peter J. (Davidson College, North Carolina)
This book shows that Homer was not only a great poet but also a great thinker. Peter J. Ahrensdorf shows that Homer elevates human virtue over reverence for the gods, celebrates the wisdom of the poet over the heroism of the warrior, and teaches that the courageously questioning Achilles is superior to Hector and Odysseus.
