Great Books #2: Homer and the Invention of the Human

Sitting here nodding along knowing damn well I didn’t do the reading assignment.

Thank God I work night shift security, everyone commenting how they bout to go to bed. This is the perfect time to tune in.

Find someone who loves you as much as professor Jiang loves Homer and Dante

Achilles teaches one thing: ego builds legends and destroys them in the same breath.

I got a library card and I picked up the Illiad. I'm taking lots of lecture notes. Feel like I'm back in school right now. Late 30s, unstable housing and jobs, needing distraction from narcotic addiction. This is helping me a ton. Thanks prof What an awesome read. You can tell it wasn't written for kingly legitimacy, and Homer instead wrote it for entertainment and edification

Its crazy that I love to educate myself only when Iam out of school system for 20 years...school system is old and obsolete now

“There is no reality, only perception.”

Leavin this comment for my son. If you're reading this, you are on the right track.

To hear this man describe the Iliad so well is a privilege. Thank you Professor
