A lawyer with a background in philosophy, Kellogg asks how the ancient Greek writers enrich people's lives even today, and what wisdom they teach. His topics include Homer and the heroic ideal, Aeschylus and the institution of justice, the inquiries of Herodotus of Halicarnassus, Aristophanes and the serious business of comedy, and Aristotle and the invention of political science.
