Ep. 040: A Classic Start
from Behold, the Lion Hosted by The Columbia Witness
As the Fall semester starts at Columbia University, you will find many undergraduate freshmen reading works like Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, or Vergil's Aeneid. These works form the core of an education founded on 'the classics' and are popular reads for people of all ages and backgrounds. But what makes something part of 'the classics'? Moreover, what is the value in reading them, many of which were written thousands of years ago by authors and for audiences far removed from Christianity? These are the questions The Good Fight begins the new semester discussing as they prepare to take a deep look at some of the classics. Intro/Outro music by Cooper Cannell
