Homer Through the Middle Ages
Professor Kozlowski examines the reception of Homer through the Middle Ages: in the Byzantine Empire, in the Islamicate World, and in Medieval Europe. Along the way he'll discuss Christianity's difficult relationship with pagan philosophy and literature, Eurocentrism, badass Muslim achievements like rhyming poetry, and tricks for establishing your noble heritage for fun and profit. Come for the Christian Fathers, stay for the Islamic Exceptionalism.
