Princeton Classics PhD Alex Petkas argues against the "Great Books" model of classical education and makes the case for returning to traditional classical training focused on Greek and Latin languages. He explains why Plutarch's Lives was one of early America's most influential books and why it deserves renewed attention today.

Alex Petkas is host of the Cost of Glory podcast, exploring great thinkers and events in classical civilization.
