INQ-277 | Living Like Gods in Greece

Topic Description:

What is the best way to live our lives? This course goes to Greece in search of answers to that question, answers that continue to resonate with us today. We will look at two different answers from two different civilizations, the ancient Greek Bronze Age depicted in Homer’s Iliad and the classical age of Greek culture that was home to Socrates and Plato. Widely different as their ideals of the good life were, they agreed that it is god-like, a life of such excellence that it that transcends the bounds of mortal existence. So the question becomes, what does it mean to live like a god? What could it have meant for them, and what could it mean for us?
