Liberty by Necessity: An Examination of Fate and Free Will in Homer and Boethius

On Tuesday, February 27, Karl Isaac Johnson, M.A.R., a graduate from Yale Divinity School, gave a lecture to the community of Legionaries here at our college.
This lecture examined the themes of fate and free will in Homer, and in the much-later Consolation of Philosophy by Boethius, a late-antique Christian Roman philosopher.  

	Does God's foreknowledge of every future event indicate that humans are never free to choose otherwise? And how does Homer’s conception of fate relate to the Christian concept of providence? Most of the lecture addressed these questions.
