Hillsdale College on The Victor Davis Hanson Show on Spotify

Well, let's talk about Mitch McConnell in a minute, but first to our listeners and viewers, I want to talk to you about Hillsdale College's The Odyssey Campaign. So for nearly 3,000 years, the great books of Western civilization have shaped the way people think about courage, honor, war, duty, family, leadership— and self-government. Homer's The Odyssey stands among those great books. It's the epic of homecoming, exploring, enduring questions about loyalty, temptation, kingship, marriage, and the good life. That's why Hillsdale College offers free online courses on the greatest works of the Western tradition. These free online courses are taught by Hillsdale College professors, and draw from the same great books and enduring ideas studied on Hillsdale's campus. In Hillsdale's newest free online course, The Odyssey, Professor Benedict Whalen guides students through Homer's masterpiece as Odysseus struggles to return home to Ithaca. You'll explore the trials, temptations, and choices that have captivated readers for nearly 3,000 years and discover why Homer's epic remains one of the foundational works of Western literature. Homer's epic has inspired countless works of literature and invites readers to consider some of life's permanent questions, courage and prudence, loyalty and temptation, homecoming and glory, and what it means to live a good life.
