The purpose of this book is educational. I have read, studied and taught Homer's "Iliad," and I wish to pass on what I have learned to other people who are interested in studying Homer's "Iliad." In particular, I think that the readers of this introduction to Homer's Iliad will be bright high school seniors and college first-year students, as well as intelligent adults who simply wish to study the "Iliad" despite not being literature majors.This book uses a question-and-answer form...

Bruce examines the development of the art of history writing and explores the theological possibilities now open to schol...

In Westphalia, a gentle youth lived in the beautiful castle of Baron Thunderstormcumlightning. Anyone could look at the youth's face and see that he was both good-natured and weak-minded. This is why he was given the name Candide, although Virginia would have been a good choice if he had been born female. No one knew who his parents were, but that did not keep the servants from guessing, aka gossiping. Their guess, or gossip, was that Candide was the son of the Baron's sister and a nearby ...
