Homer’s Iliad in Translation - Spring 2027 - Registration
Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12-12:30pm Pacific (3-3:30pm Eastern), January 5 - March 25
Step into the Trojan War with Achilles, Hector, and the gods who take sides. In this class, we will read and discuss the great and foundational work of Western literature, Homer’s Iliad in its entirety. Each half-hour class will be devoted to one chapter (chapters are called books, and there are 24 in total), and we will use the excellent new Emily Wilson translation as our main book and Gareth Hinds’ graphic novel version as supplementary material. The class will include discussions of the text, ancient mythology, and explorations into ancient history. Students will keep an Iliad journal with insights and questions about the text.
