Description
Aretē Excellence Or Virtue presents the ancient Greek concept of excellence or virtue in their own words. From Homer's Iliad to the poet Tyrtaeus' declaration that aretē is the "best and noblest prize" one could win, this anthology-like book explores what the ancient Greeks thought and said about aretē.
The book delves into the ideas of poets, playwrights, historians, philosophers, and orators on the concept of excellence and virtue. By listening to their thoughts and teachings, readers will likely find their own views on human excellence and virtue shift as they explore the ancient Greek perspective.
