Thursday, December 5, 12 pm – The Odyssey, by Homer
The Odyssey is world literature’s grandest evocation of an everyman’s journey through life. Odysseus’ reliance on his own wits for survival… during his ten-year voyage home to Ithaca after the Trojan War is at once a timeless human story and an individual test of moral endurance. (Amazon) Homer tells a tale of love, adventure, food and drink, sensual pleasure, longing for home, and mortal danger. Look for a modern translation, such as the ones by Robert Fagles or Emily Wilson. Click here to register.
