Stories That Respect Tradition - Victor Davis Hanson

In a world that’s thrown out the ancient rules of storytelling for the sake of “freedom,” we’ve ended up with more confusion than creativity—both for writers and audiences alike.
But what if there was another way?
Join the brilliant Victor Davis Hanson as he dives deep into the timeless wisdom of the classics in Episode 6: The Greeks, as the saying goes, had a word for it—and rules to go with it. Discover how classical authors mastered their craft by honoring strict guidelines on vocabulary, meter, style, form, content, and length… and why rejecting those rules today hasn’t liberated storytellers—it’s left them (and us) lost.
If you love stories that respect tradition while speaking to the modern soul, this episode is a must-watch.
