Additionally, you will come to see how problems of leadership can be specific to the culture they appear in, in this case the heroic world of Greek oral poetry. Finally, you will apply your understanding to modern leadership problems and consider the relevance of contemporary social science and psychology for understanding problems of ancient and modern leadership.
