I signed up for a course with edex on Greek culture which sees to be oriented around the Homeric idea of the Greek hero.  I suppose that would predate Socrates and his efforts to reform the city state based upon wisdom and control of passions rather than founded upon the Homeric ideal of anger and retribution.  It's a free, self paced course so if I stick with it I should be able to get it done.  It's broken down into 17 sessions which would probably be covered in 9 weeks in the real world.  May take me all year.  I'm also going to try again to work upon Greek language but I'm not expecting much since I was never very good at learning languages. 

 

I'm also going to augment walking, about  which is usually 30 minutes averaging five days a weeks, with some low impact stretching exercises.  I can already feel more that sufficient stiffness in my back.  If this keeps up I can see the time on the horizon when I'll not be able to get myself off the floor without help.
