I have several sets by Professor Fears, too. Loved him, and I was sorry to learn he had died. “Achilles traded a long life for a glorious memory ... and here’s a fat old professor in Olkahoma, three thousand years later, telling you about the great deeds of Achilles. He got what he wanted!”
Professor Elizabeth Vandiver on classical literature and mythology is another of my favorites.
I also enjoyed “Cycles of American Political Thought”, and the foundations of western civ. history of the United States is also a good set.
I just looked....own 57 of them...dang....forgot I had that many.... :)
