Join Jesse Weiner, Associate Professor of Classics at Hamilton College, to discuss Homer's Odyssey.
Homer’s Odyssey is, in sometimes uncomfortable ways, a reflection on mortality, social hierarchies, and one’s place in life. Plus there’s some storytelling, sex, and monsters involved.
Let’s discuss!
Here's the reading schedule:
Week 1 (April 28) - Books 1-6
Week 2 (May 5) - Books 7-12
Week 3 (May 12) - Books 13-18
Week 4 (May 19) - Books 19-24
Jesse has published numerous articles on Greek and Latin literature, drama, and classical reception studies with strong interests in monumentality, memory, aesthetics, and gender studies. He is co-editor of Frankenstein and Its Classics: The Modern Prometheus from Antiquity to Science Fiction (Bloomsbury Academic, 2018) and Searching for the Cinaedus in Ancient Rome (Brill, 2023). In public humanities, Weiner has worked with Ancient Greeks/Modern Lives, and his work has appeared in History Today and The Atlantic.
