Greek Epics I: An Introduction to Homer and His Epics

Posted byTriumvir ClioPosted inGreek Epics, The Greeks

There’s nothing ill about the Iliad and nothing odd about the Odyssey, and we will read them both. This episode covers Homer, the background mythology of the Trojan War, and orality versus literacy. If you have questions or additional information (please cite!), the comments are open.

I have a BA in History and Classical Civilization from Loyola University Chicago and an MPH from Western Michigan University. I've been a geometry teacher, a religion teacher, a writing tutor. I'm a writer, a knitter, a dancer, a singer, an actor. And, yes, for fun I like to reread everything that was assigned while getting my classics degree.
