Transcript

Most books are forgotten and only a few survive for a generation. Very, very few are still being read nearly 3,000 years after they were written. It doesn't happen by accident. It happens because those books understand something, something permanent about human nature. And that's why people still read Homer's Odyssey. It's more than an adventure story. It's about courage, leadership, temptation, perseverance, and ultimately why home and family are worth more than comfort or glory. Those questions haven't changed. Neither have the answers. That's why Hillsdale College is offering a free online course on the Odyssey taught by Professor Benedict Whalen. The course explores one of the greatest works in the Western tradition and explains why it continues to shape the way we think nearly three millennia later. Enrollment is completely free and you can work through the lectures at your own pace. Go to hillsdale.edu slash Walsh to enroll. It's totally free. Start reading, learn the classics, rediscover the West. Start right now at hillsdale.edu slash walsh.
