From Professor David J. Schenker of the University of Missouri-Columbia and the University of California at Berkeley, enjoy and learn from 36 30-minute lectures that will teach you all about the most well-known and celebrated Ancient Greek epics, poems, and dramas.
Professor Schenker explains how the ancient Greeks shaped more than classic literature – they also gave us great thinkers, such as Herodotus, Thucydides, and Plato; who showed us just how advanced we can get when it comes to decoding these ancient works.
This series is put together in a way to help us apply ancient ideas and stories to the world today. For example, in Homer’s two most famous epics, the Illiad and the Odyssey, problems arise gradually as tension is built slowly, quite similar to how battle scenes in movies we see today are formulated in order to get the best response out of the viewer.
Watch and learn as Professor Schenker guides you back in time to understand one of the richest and most cultured histories of ancient Greek literature and its esteemed authors.
