Homer's Iliad is the oldest work of European literature and forms the foundation of the Western canon. Not only does this ancient epic tell the story of the Trojan War, it contains profound emotional truths that have been understood from ancient times through the Renaissance and is harmonious with classical teachings of self discipline and the psychology of Carl Jung. Understanding the Greek Gods through an archetypal lens reveals an ancient roadmap for self improvement and overcoming anger and trauma.

Pride appears across Biblical stories as one of the most dangerous sins; even angels are not immune. Likewise in our world pride can lead us into a tunnel vision, blind to others. One morning in Medieval Italy, a young man named Francis would take an act of humility that would change himself, his community, and his culture forever. This change lives in each of us; beautifully, mystically illustrated by one monk's vision of a fallen angel's empty throne, and the humble sinner who sits in its place.
