Synopsis

In The Hero and the Man, Robertson explores what it means to be a "Hero" through the lens of Homeric epic. Since the dawn of Western civilization, heroism has always been admirable... but is it the highest aspiration? Or is there something even better that men might strive for? Robertson argues that when viewed together, the Iliad and the Odyssey offer a more complete picture of the trajectory of man in culture that will change how you view the role of the Hero, and what it truly means to be a Man.
