Acerca de esta escucha

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 arête, 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.

Helpful and entertaining addition to Dan Stevens’s magnificent performance of the Iliad and Odyssey, Fitzgerald translation.

Superb prof

This professor is so good I'd listen to him lecture on about any subject. That said, this lecture series was particularly good. It is a fairly concise introduction to the Homeric epics that underly so much of Western culture. Prof. Shutt brings them alive.

As you can imagine, the first half of lectures is on the Iliad and the second on the Odyssey. As a follow up, I would suggest Prof. Vandiver's two-part course on the same topics.

This is certainly suitable for a motivated homeschooler to listen, perhaps to along with the works themselves.

wonderful introduction to fundamental texts
