Address to Young Men on Greek Literature is a text by Basil of Caesarea. Although Basil is best known for his religious writings, in the "Address" he advocated the study of certain Greek texts on the grounds of their Christian virtue. He further reassured his young readers that despite their pagan roots, Greek poets, historians, and philosophers were compatible with orthodox Christian values and could be studied as reflections of Christian ideals.— Wikipedia
