Sažetak
The author of the article reaches for the most representative
work of European culture from Early Antiquity, Homer's Iliad
and Odyssey. The aim is to demonstrate that certain parts of
these works can be read and interpreted not only literarily
but also pedagogically, although these are primarily epical
literary works. By using the method of detection, he points
out certain parts and verses, so he could hermeneutically, i.e.
analytically draw attention to their educational and
pedagogical value or meaning, and simultaneously interpret
them in accordance with modern accomplishments of
educational sciences. As the main frame for his research he
applied the criteria of monitoring human growth in Homer’s
times throughout the human ages: childhood,
preadolescence, adolescence, but there are also speeches
about ideals and glory. In times when, because of certain life
situations, social and consequently educational values are
questioned, not as much on the level of the rejection of
principles, as much in the practice which does not always
follow them, he directs us to the sources so we could
perceive the genesis and living of values in the beginnings of
the European circle of civilization, which also includes
Croatia.
