In the Iliad, the heroes live by the Homeric Code, until Achilleus, sitting alone on the shores of the Troad, starts a conceptual and moral revolution by thinking his way beyond the moral conceptual scheme of his society. However, because Hektor kills Patroclus and Achilleus kills Hektor, he never has a chance to pursue his insight and must himself die at Troy. In the Odyssey, Odysseus begins to explore the new moral universe that Achilleus discovered but never really experienced. What possibilities for living do different moral systems open and close? Join Robert Miller, a former Core Fellow who teaches corporate finance and law at the University of Iowa College of Law, for a discussion of the Homeric Code and the good life.
