I've read the Dialogues and have already begun veneration of Socrates, Plato, and Plotinus. I probably should have mentioned this in my OP.

Practical, or civic, virtues, while certainly not bad and worthwhile of respect, are not what I am looking for. I want to venerate the truly great.

I'm going to assume that this is a joke.

Livre de chevalerie by Geoffroi de Charny. It's about the knightly ethos, and by extension virtue.

Maybe veneration is the wrong word, but I spend time every day contemplating their virtues and asking for their assistance in my pursuit of wisdom.
