Summary

Taking as his starting point the Illiad and Odyssey of Homer, specifically Odysseus' use of guile rather than force to prevail, Keld Zeruneith argues that the heroic age of Greece represented a major turning point in the history of human thought, opening the way for modern ideas of philosophy, poetry and society.

The Wooden Horse Summary

The Wooden Horse: The Liberation of the Western Mind from Odysseus to Socrates by Keld Zeruneith

A provocative history of the founding of western conceptions about society, philosophy, and art links modern beliefs to events in ancient Greece, explaining how such sample factors as the Trojan Horse profoundly influenced subsequent changes in conflict resolution and strategic thinking.
