The Challenge Of Homer
Homer was the gateway to education, to the skills of reading and writing. These skills were necessary for the nascent Church. Knowledge of Homer's writings was a sign of Greekness, of at-homeness in the society. This title offers a presentation of education in the ancient world, and the role of Homer's poetic works in this culture.
