In this unique 12 week class, we will focus exclusively on Emily Wilson’s translation of The Iliad. Through the class, students will gain an understanding of the epic poem, they will explore the idea of a hero and learn about the events and characters in the poem, and students will use the text as a tool to study the elements of life in Ancient Greece and the history of the Trojan War.
Thursdays 9:30 - 10:45 am EST 9/12, 9/19, 9/26, 10/10, 10/24, 10/31, 11/7, 11/14, 11/21, 12/5, 12/12, 12/19 |
This class is designed to foster a love of books and promote lively discussion. Students will read three novels over the course of the 12 week semester. They'll share their ideas about characters, plot, setting, and themes through guided discussions and writing prompts. Our time together in class will be spent engaging in debates, games, fun exercises, and projects as we uncover the foundations of literary analysis.
