"This is what you should teach me, how to be like Odysseus - how to love my country, wife, and father, and how, even after suffering shipwreck, I might keep sailing on course to those honorable ends."
~ Seneca, Moral Letters, 88.7b
Not often that one considers Odysseus as any sort of moral exemplar, but OK, take the good and leave the rest . . .
