Why Should We Study Greek Classical Literature? | The Iliad & Odyssey's Influence on Today's World

Come with us as we dive into the heart of Classical Greek culture on this episode of Classical Et Cetera, as we focuse on the timeless epics of Homer: The Iliad and The Odyssey. Why do we need to study these books? Not just because we think they should be read. They are not merely keystones of Greek classical literature but also windows into the soul of Classical Greece. With guidance from Mitchell Holly, the principal of Memoria Academy and an author deeply versed in Greek classics, we uncover the historical context behind these epic tales and their profound influence on both classical Greek culture and tragedy. This discussion goes beyond a mere academic exercise; it's about understanding the lessons these ancient stories impart about human nature, morality, and the societal values that have echoed through history to influence our world today. Discover why teaching these epics is crucial in modern education and how they help us grasp the essence of history — why we learn it, why it matters, and what it can teach us about navigating the present and future. Join us for a thoughtful exploration into how the past of Classical Greece continues to inform our present and guide our understanding of what it means to be human.

Classical Education is NOT SIMPLY Intellectual Development

There's more to a holistic classical education than a heady pursuit of knowledge. Education isn't just about intellectual development, it's about forming affections, emotions, intellect and spirit.
Our founder Cheryl Lowe said that teachers _have failed_ if students don't *cry* when Hector is killed or when Priam begs Achilles for this body of his son. A holistic classical education exposes students to the best art, music, and literature to cultivate students' _love_ of *the true, the good, and the beautiful.*
