Summary
<p>When did we stop looking to great men gone by as role models? My guest today, Alex Petkas, is a recovering academic who founded the Ancient Life Coach podcast in order to make a more immediate connection between past and present. He's recovering Plutarch--once antiquity's most cherished moralist--as a guide for today. We discuss the transformation of scholarship from instruction to dissection, and how ancient pagans can help modern seekers get a hold of themselves.</p> <p>Listen to Alex's Podcast, <em>Ancient Life Coach</em>: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cost-of-glory/id1580153815">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cost-of-glory/id1580153815</a></p> <p>Read him on Substack: <a href="https://substack.com/@costofglory">https://substack.com/@costofglory</a></p> <p>Check out his website: <a href="https://ancientlifecoach.com">https://ancientlifecoach.com</a></p> <p>Meet our sponsors, the Ancient Language Institute: <a href="http://ancientlanguage.com/youngheretics">ancientlanguage.com/youngheretics</a></p>
