From Achilles to Christ: Why Christians Should Read the Pagan Classics

"The heart of Christianity is a myth which is also a fact." —C. S. Lewis

In From Achilles to Christ, Louis Markos introduces listeners to the great narratives of classical mythology from a Christian perspective. From the battles of Achilles and the adventures of Odysseus to the feats of Hercules and the trials of Aeneas, Markos shows how the characters, themes, and symbols within these myths both foreshadow and find their fulfillment in the story of Jesus Christ—the "myth made fact." Along the way, he dispels misplaced fears about the dangers of reading classical literature and offers a Christian approach to the interpretation and appropriation of these great literary works. This engaging book is an excellent resource for Christian students, teachers, and fans of classical literature.
