Random information on the term “Glory”:
Glory is high renown, praise, and honor obtained by notable achievements, and based in extensive common consent. In Greek culture fame and glory were highly considered, as is explained in The Symposium, one of Plato’s dialogs.
Kleos (Greek: κλέος) is the Greek word often translated to “renown”, or “glory”. It is related to the word for “to hear” and carries the implied meaning of “what others hear about you”. A Greek hero earns kleos through accomplishing great deeds, often through his own death. Kleos is invariably transferred from father to son[clarification needed]; the son is responsible for carrying on and building upon the “glory” of the father.
Kleos is a common theme in Homer’s epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey, the main example in the latter being that of Odysseus and his son Telemachus, who is concerned that his father may have died a pathetic and pitiable death at sea rather than a reputable and gracious one in battle.
The Greek philosopher Plato, in his dialog Symposium devoted to discussing love, digresses into the subject of fame and glory. This comes in the section that concerns the dialog between Socrates and Diotima. She is explaining that men search for some kind of immortality, for instance by means of physical and intellectual procreation. She then asserts that the love for fame and glory is very strong, and in fact to obtain them, men are ready to engage in great efforts, and also run risks and sacrifices, even of their lives (self-sacrifice), and will sacrifice still more for this than for their children. She then references Alcestis (who died to save Admetus), Achilles (to avenge Patroclus), and Codrus, as examples of heroes in search of fame and immortal renown.
