Sample passage
Homer is a key to the Greek view of life and of the world. The human ideal of religion and morality we find in him dominates their whole conception. The gods are greater men, perfect in those personal qualities that were prized as virtues—strength, beauty, and wisdom. As the old men in Troy adored the beauty of Helen in spite of the troubles she had brought upon them, so the Greeks found in beauty of every kind the seal of perfection, and connected ugliness with imperfection and vice, as Homer united them in Thersites. The ideal of art, connected intimately from the first with religion, is to make the perfect human form as an honor and an offering to the gods.
