Professor Carol is back in this episode of Classical Et Cetera to talk about the importance of studying the fine arts and music and its role in a classical education. In small ways we have lost the integral parts of the fine arts in our modern culture. And in our neglect, the fine arts have drifted to the backs of our collective consciousness to the role of a simple pass/fail elective. How do we take it back? It takes a unified curriculum, a passionate teacher, and a creative approach to reinstate the fine arts in the hearts and minds of our students. Join Jessica, Tanya, Paul and Carol as they dive into art's place in the classical world and how our culture can learn to thrive again with an emphasis and attention to the fine arts! Memoria Press is here to help homeschool and classical schooling families with tips, choices, and simple planning strategies to make classical Christian education available to all!

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.
