Aliakai | What is a Soul? (In Hellenism) @Aliakai | Uploaded February 2022 | Updated October 2024, 6 hours ago.
When I decided to take on a history of the soul in ancient Greece, I knew it would be big...but I didn't realize how big. Plato's soul, Homer's soul, Aristotle's soul...the topic is essential to Hellenism and not covered near enough. Let's take a look at the soul in Greece.
0:00 Intro
3:00 Homer's Souls
18:37 Plato's Tripartite Soul
