A Homeric Odyssey, with Sarah Wilson
Literature
About this event
Join staff member and classicist Sarah for an illustrated talk on Homer’s Odyssey (just in time to see Christopher Nolan’s take on it).
The talk will cover the history, language, legacy, adaptations and the modern translations of the epic poem; with time left for questions. Come for the tea and cake and pictures of glistening abs, stay for the *hot takes* and fun facts.
Tea and cake included
We can’t promise to be as exciting as Nolan’s trailer – www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_bKjZeJBBI. But they didn’t have tea and cake.
