This book studies the social and ethical formation of youthful characters in Greek epic and tragedy. It investigates Cheiron the Centaur, ancient Greece's first teacher; traces the influential trajectory of the Iliadic Achilles; and offers readings of the Odyssey, Sophocles' Ajax and Philoctetes, and Euripides' Hippolytus and Iphigenia in Aulis.
