HELLENIC NOTION DEFINITION HOW TO
We begin with the Greeks and how particularly the Iliad, served as their Bible on how to be a man and how Achilles and Odysseus were held as different models of manhood. Today on the show Ted goes into detail how the Greeks and the Romans defined manliness. I had him on the podcast awhile back to discuss his book Soldiers and Ghosts which is about battle and antiquity, that was episode number 231 if you want to check that out.

For example, if you were to ask a man living in 1920 what manliness meant, he’d probably give you roughly the same answer as a Greek or Roman man living 2000 years ago. Ancient Greece and Rome have a heavy influence on the idea of manhood we promote on the Art of Manliness, in fact this classical conception of manliness was how much of the west defined manhood up until about the middle of the 20th century.
