This week we discuss monsters and dragons!   We begin by examining the qualities of Beowulf as an epic poem before  going on to focus upon the three monsters that Beowulf faces.  Each  represents an aspect of evil more perilous than the last.

Paideia Today: Season Two, Episode Four, Beowulf II

Paideia Today is a podcast in which Dr. Scott Masson and Dr. Bill Friesen, professors of English, discuss the great works of western literature. We do so from a now largely lost classical perspective, attempting to illustrate why 2800 years of the greatest thinkers valued these works above all others as keys to understanding the human condition.
