A Dream of Deception: Homer's Iliad 2

Course Description

Course Description: Still smarting from his foolish and destructive quarrel with Achilles, Agamemnon receives a surprising new glimmer of hope: a divine dream that seems to promise him swift victory in the long war with the Trojans. Little does he know that he is being divinely duped by Zeus! In this Greek reading course, we will cover most of book 2 of the Iliad (about 570 lines total). Although we will not cover the Catalogue of Ships in great detail, some festive bonus sessions will be arranged for reading it! While this is an ongoing Homeric reading group, new participants are always most welcome Level: Upper intermediate to advanced students Textbook: Instructor will provide materials. Recommended: M.M. Willcock, Homer: Iliad I-XII (Bristol Press, 1998).
