But today, classical education is rapidly disappearing from American high school and university curricula, and as a result, we are in danger of becoming illiterate about the ideas that created Western civilisation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eWho Killed Homer\u003c\/em\u003e, acclaimed classicists Victor Davis Hanson and John Heath explain what has been sacrificed, who did it, and why. Hanson and Heath argue that if we lose our knowledge of the Greeks, then we lose our understanding of who we are.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith straightforward advice and informative readings of the great Greek texts, the authors show how we might still save classics and the Greeks for future generations. This is essential reading for anyone who agrees that knowledge of classics acquaints us with the beauty and perils of our own culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000844140780,"sku":"9781893554269","price":52.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/4811713482862.jpg?v=1763309612","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/who-killed-homer-by-victor-davis-hanson-9781893554269","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
