Heroes and the Heroic Path in Ancient Hellenic Religion
Friday February 21, 2025 11:30am - 1:00pm EST
Conference Room A
Ancient Greek traditions about the heroes provide us with a particular model of how to live in such a way as to be of service to this world and to hone our chosen type of excellence.  In the Hellenic tradition, heroes were humans who have managed to transcend the limitations of their mortality and become something else.  Heroes are important for two reasons.  First, they can be called upon as intercessors.  Secondly, they reveal a path available to humans for becoming something else—for becoming some form of Theoi.  Through analysis we can discover this heroic path that is accessible to all of us.  Come join Gwendolyn as she examines the nature of heroes and the heroic path with an eye towards practical application.
