What classic stories of Homer are used in our own education? http://www.wsu.edu:8001/~dee/MINOA/HOMER.HTM http://www.wsu.edu:8001/~dee/MINOA/HOMER.HTM

Based on the article, the answer is that the narratives of
Achilles and Odysseus are used in our own educational settings.  Just as these works
told much about Greek society, these texts are used in our own education about Greek
society and their values.  The modern education of classical society cannot stray far
from reading about Achilles' battles with the Trojans, or about the political tension
between Agammemnon and the brave warrior, or about how his supposedly principled stance
against fighting having to be broken by Hector's murder of Patrocles.  This narrative
tells us much about what the Greeks valued in their society, notions such as honor and
glory that are realities over which one is to wage war and conflict.  In the end, the
artciles argues that if one wanted to have a good idea of how Greek society was
constructed, the works of Homer go very far in helping an individual develop a view of
that social order.
