Essay responses should include these points:
 Aret was broadly interpreted to culture as well as narrowly applied to the individual.
 Aret is translated as virtue and the highest endeavor.
 Aret is about being the best, reaching one's fullest potential, through virtuous acts and deeds.
 Aret is featured in juxtaposition to hubris, the sin of pride.
 The use of these elements within epic narratives illustrates their importance within the Greek mindset.
 The context of aret within the epic relates to the struggle in battle.
