Course Description

Course Description: In this, final, reading course for our ongoing group on Homer's Odyssey, we will continue to read about Odysseus at the court of the proud Phaeacians, and in particular how he is moved by the songs of the exquisite bard Demodocus. Classes will be dedicated to reading and translating the text, and to discussing the broader themes therein. While this is an ongoing Homeric reading group, newcomers (especially newcomers to Homer) are always very welcome. Old veterans from past years are also always welcome!. Level: This course is intended for participants with upper-Intermediate to advanced reading knowledge of Ancient Greek Textbook: Geoffrey Steadman's student commentary, available as a free download here: https://geoffreysteadman.com/homers-odyssey-6-8/.
