Discussion topics include: Does Plato really intend for Socrates to look like a hero? How optimistic or pessimistic is Plato’s Socrates about the idea of heroic resurrection after death? How is the salvation of a hero linked to the hoped-for salvation of the hero’s worshippers?
Recorded during v3 of the MOOC, The Ancient Greek Hero in 24 Hours, covering questions raised by participants about Hours 22–24 (then called Module 5). (The discussion also introduces an annotation tool which was then available on the edX platform.)
