Greek Tragedy

Your goal, aside from making sure it travels safely from cache to cache, is to get this trackable to Greece!  This trackable wants to visit as many caches as possible before landing somewhere in the home of where all of these great Greek tragedies were created.

Greek Tragedy and the Moral Imagination: Readings in Literature and Philosophy

This is 1 of 10 trackables that I have released as part of my Capstone project for my Master of Liberal Arts degree.  There are also 10 corresponding caches placed in Baltimore, MD that go along with these trackables.  Each trackable and cache signifies a course I took in the program.  My goal is to share my experiences in each class and hope that you will also be inspired to share some of your experiences with this trackable.

Does suffering bring wisdom?  I know I suffer every time I log a DNF, but sometimes I think the wisdom I bring with me the next time I search for the cache makes being able to log that smiley that much more rewarding.  

What are the makings of a good life?  How can we make wise choices in our lives and do our choices save us from catastrophe?  I’m sure we can correlate all three of these questions into our geocaching lives, but these questions are also the foundations of Greek tragedies.  

This was a really unique and exciting class because we were able to study these classic texts and plays and had the opportunity to incorporate film adaptations in order to get a deeper understanding of how these stories have stood the test of time.  Over 2,500 years of time!
