Homer’s Odyssey, written down sometime around 700 BC, is a foundational masterpiece of Western literature and thought. The story of Odysseus’ long and winding return from the Trojan War to his long-suffering wife and son on the island of Ithaca still has, for sheer narrative power and pathos, few rivals. Its themes of homecoming, justice, identify, memory, hospitality, and suffering have shaped much of the way we understand our lives and the world around us. A translation of this ancient Greek epic poem by Emily Wilson—the first translation into English by a woman—was released to great acclaim several years ago. In this six-part video series students will slowly make their way through the 24 chapters (or “books”) of this wonderful new edition of the Odyssey.
