Description
There’s no-one quite like Homer. And this online class is for anyone who loves the Odyssey and the Iliad. We are a group of Homer fans who enjoy exploring the language but also discussing the wider cultural context of the poems.
Of course, there’s nothing quite like reading the Homeric epics in the original Greek. You are welcome to join us whether you have never translated Homer before and would like to see how it’s done, or you already have some experience with translation of unadapted Greek.
We will continue reading Odyssey book 7 in the original Greek. The suggested text and commentary is by Geoffrey Steadman (free pdf download with additional resources) or if you wish to buy the physical book, the ISBN is 978-0984306527.
The group will meet on Tuesdays from 16:00-17:00 (UK/Ireland local time) for 10 weeks on 23rd September, 30th September, 7th October, 14th October, 21st October, (mid-term break 28th October), 4th November, 11th November, 18th November, 25th November, 2nd December 2025.
For our first class in September, we will be reading Odyssey book 7, lines 226-277.
