From the informal games of Homer's time to the highly organized contests of the Roman world, Miller has compileda trove of ancient sources: Plutarch on boxing, Aristotle on the pentathlon, Philostratos on the buying and selling of victories, Vitruvius on literary competitions, and Xenophon on female body building. Arete offers readers an absorbing lesson in the culture of Greek athletics from the greatest of teachers, the ancients themselves, and demonstrates that the concepts of virtue, skill, pride, valor, and nobility embedded in the word arete are only part of the story from antiquity.

AN INSTANT PUBLISHERS WEEKLY BESTSELLER “This book will change your life. And, if enough of us commit, it will change the world.” — Phil Stutz, MD, bestselling author of The Tools, featured in the Netflix documentary, Stutz In Areté, Brian Johnson integrates ancient wisdom, modern science, and practical tools to, as per the sub-title of the book, help you activate your Heroic potential and fulfill your destiny. If you asked the ancient stoic philosophers how to live a good life, they’d answer you in a single word: Areté. We translate Areté as “virtue” or “excellence” but the word has a deeper meaning—something closer to being your best self moment to moment to moment. Phil Stutz, MD, the author of The Tools, who was featured in the Netflix documentary called Stutz, wrote the foreword to the book. He says: “What Brian has developed is much more than a bunch of coping mechanisms for the over-stressed modern person; although that would be an improvement for most of us. He’s developed a training program for the soul. Commit to this training and you will gain the ability to transmute your biggest problems, your darkest days, into unstoppable courage, endless enthusiasm, and an unshakable faith in the future. This book will change your life. And, if enough of us commit, it will change the world.”

Since 1979, William Taylor has been taking hundreds of Northern California high school students to Europe, North Africa and the Middle East to uncover the roots of Western history as part of a unique educational program. Arete West students participate in a nine-month curriculum, reading and discussing historical literature, then fly overseas to explore the sites they studied.

This book celebrates the Arete program, as William Taylor and his students articulate Arete memories from the past four decades. For young adults interested in the world around them, parents wishing to enrich their children’s education, and teachers seeking new and inspiring ways to reach their students, The Greatest Classrooms of the World presents fresh ideas and possibilities. More than a collection of personal trip memories, this book communicates the search for personal excellence, the passion of international youth travel, and a program that can be emulated and adapted all over the world.

Arete And The Odyssey S Poetics Of Interrogation written by Justin Arft and has been published by Oxford University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2022-09-20 with Questioning in literature categories.
Arete and the Odyssey's Poetics of Interrogation explores how the enigmatic Phaeacian queen, Arete, is at the heart of an epic-scale "poetics of interrogation" used throughout the Odyssey to negotiate Odysseus' kleos, or epic renown. Arete's interrogation of Odysseus has been especially problematic in scholarship, but diachronic and synchronic analysis of similar interrogations across Indo-European, Orphic, and Greek epigrammatic corpora show that the "stranger's interrogation" is a formula that demands performance and negotiation of status. Within the Odyssey, this interrogation is part of an intraformular network used to generate kleos, and the queen's question initiates the longest and most complex negotiation of Odysseus' status in epic and memory. Arete's role as interrogator not only explains her strange authority and resonance with both Penelope and comparative afterlife figures, but it also establishes a gendered, agonistic tension between she and her husband, Alkinoos, that influences the structure, genre, and narratology of performances across the Phaeacian episode. This book reinterprets the Odyssey's central episode and challenges several assumptions about Nausikaa and Alkinoos' famed hospitality, even demonstrating how the Apologue is organized as a response to competing inquiries into Odysseus' fundamental status in tradition. The Odyssey ultimately navigates away from Odysseus' public reputation and roots his status in private memories, and Arete's carefully arranged interventions signal the larger process by which the Odyssey immortalizes Odysseus in poetry as a nostos hero. The queen and her question invite new applications of oral poetics that shed light on the structure, composition, and reperformance of the Odyssey.

ARETĒ EXCELLENCE OR VIRTUE is an anthology-like book that presents "what the ancient Greeks thought and said about aretē"-about "excellence" or "virtue." In Homer's ILIAD, Achilles' father urges him to "be the best" (to possess aretē, excellence or virtue). In the ODYSSEY, old Laertes rejoices that his son Odysseus and his grandson Telemachus are "battling over aretē." Hundreds of years later, the poet Theognis of Megara counselled his friend to "wear [himself] out for the sake of aretē." Still later, the philosopher Socrates spent time with anyone who would talk with him about what it meant to cultivate aretē. And that's only the beginning of an endeavor that lasted for well over a thousand years. That everyone in the ancient Greek world wanted to have and practice aretē is without doubt. It's what they hoped, prayed, and struggled for. It's what they admired and rewarded. The Spartan poet Tyrtaeus expressed the common view when he declared that aretē was the "best and noblest prize" one could win. Still, a question remains. As valuable as aretē was to them, what did the ancient Greeks mean by it? The goal of this book is to let them answer. After a brief introduction, ARETĒ EXCELLENCE OR VIRTUE presents what the ancient Greeks thought and said about aretē in their own words. We follow poets, playwrights, and historians on the what, who, and how of aretē. We listen to what all the major philosophers and schools of philosophy taught. And, finally, we hear selected passages from a number of orators that touch on aretē. No matter how you peruse what follows, you will likely find your own views on human excellence and virtue shift as the Greeks influence your thinking about and even pursuit of aretē. Plus, you will have an opportunity to practice aretē by following "A Plan of Life Aimed at Aretē" and engaging in the workbook or journal-like practice exercises found toward the end. More, in the glossary, you'll discover the Greek terms that are pertinent to aretē. Lastly, you'll be pointed in the direction of further resources and reading.
