The Origin of Stories: The Odyssey translated by Emily Wilson
Lifelong Learning

  1. Lifelong Learning Home
  2. Class Details

Join us to explore one of the foundational works of global culture, Homer's Odyssey. We'll consider The Odyssey as both a key source of some familiar patterns of storytelling and as a strange work from a very different cultural environment. We'll also simply enjoy one of the greatest stories ever told-at once an adventure story, a love story, and an epic fantasy. Emily Wilson's recent translation is gripping and poetic, a pleasure to read and worth spending time with whether you're reading The Odyssey for the first time or revisiting it for the tenth.
