Hillsdale College on The Matt Walsh Show

Well, even though there are certain schools giving out worthless degrees in content creation or lesbian dance theory, that doesn't mean that there aren't degrees worth pursuing or subjects worth studying. Subjects like classical literature, where great works that stand the test of time are studied. Stories like the Iliad or the Odyssey, not because they're old, but because they still have something true to say. It's one reason I appreciate what Hillsdale College is doing. They're offering a free online course on the Odyssey taught by Professor Benedict Whalen. He walks through Homer's masterpiece and explains why it's remained one of the foundational works of Western civilization. It's about a man trying to get home. It's about duty, family, loyalty, the temptation to choose an easier life over a meaningful one. 3,000 years later, the importance of those values has not gone away. If anything, they've become even more relevant. If you've always wanted to read great literature or better yet, understand it, well, this is a great place to start.
