A question and answer style document I developed to cover the main themes and virtues of Ancient Literature. Passages and books discussed are:
- Homer’s The Iliad
- Homer’s The Odyssey
- Virgil’s Aeneid
- Oedipus Rex
- The Bible
- Mythology (not specific stories, but the impact of myths as a whole)
This document isn’t about literary terms and analysis, it’s about the themes, virtues, and character qualities I’d want my students to remember years from now when they look back on our studies. Included in the PDF are suggestions for use, how to explain the idea of the FAQ to get students on board, and a bibliography for reference.
