It is an opinion widely shared that Schopenhauer was one of the most brilliant stylists of German tongue.And as a German speaking personI have to consent. And moreover Schopenhauer appears to me as a very honest man.

While Euripides became the whipping boy of Nietzsche in the “Birth of Tragedy,” he seems to always have suffered from scorn and resentment, as far back as his own time. Like Goethe, I am beginning to appreciate the iconoclastic nature of his plays.

@@DurantandFriends Much obliged, my friend. It’s taken me about 7 years to finally acknowledge Euripides. After revering Sophocles and Aeschylus for so long, it’s time to pay my respects to the neglected playwright.

Pity that whoever did the cover image for this episode was so intimidated by the perpetual hatred and violence of islam that they could not just put up an image of a man’s face without begging for mercy that it is “not Mohammad”.

Good comment. I am the person who created the thumbnail. It was only after then fact that I put "this is not Mohammad" on the thumbnail. It wasn't a response to "the perpetual hatred and violence of Islam", it was because I was receiving comments that it wasn't an accurate representation and that it was blasphemous to represent Mohammad. I put "this is not Mohammad" because I was tired of addressing those comments. On a separate line of thought, I do stay away from exploring (criticizing) the Muslim faith because it's not worth possibly making me or my family a target of violence. So, in that respect your comment is true, sadly it extends beyond the thumbnail and is much, MUCH, bigger than that. I wouldn't say, its because of "the perpetual hatred and violence of Islam", rather it's because of the perpetual hatred and violence people do in the name of Islam that keeps me up at night.

I do appreciate the thougthful and honest reply.. I am sick and tired of seeing islam being afforded so much “respect” vis-a-vis Christianity or other major religions. If one blasphemes Jesus, one is not very likely to be killed for that. Not so very true of islam. I discovered the Durant’s by accident while in college, nearly 60 years ago. I am rereading their epic “Story of Civilization” today. I have noticed this time around their strong attention given to French events as compared wirth the English speaking world. It is customary in our present to disparage or treat rudely virtually anything Roman, English or American. The present imbalance is not totally dissimilar to that between Christianity and islam. Again, thank you for your integrity and thank you very much for bringing the durable Durants back to center stage. They are important for the continuation of the not-so-terrible Western Civilization.

For Americans that might be confused when the term 'corn'; everywhere else in the world with possible exception of Australia, corn is just a catch-all term for cereal grains. It's not maize, that'd be North American corn. It confused me when I first read Caesar's Commentaries and he mentions needing to acquire corn for the legions since I understood corn to be native to the Americas.

A problem with authors & fake authority, esp. philosophers, is that they try to get others to see their POV👀 in order to get themselves to believe in what they hardly believe in for their own Selves, but for clever assurance, the Majority fools!
