Homer’s Odyssey - Fall 2026 - Registration
Tuesdays and Thursdays (12-12:30 pm Pacific // 3-3:30 pm Eastern), September 1 — November 19
In this class, we will read and discuss one of the most essential works of Western literature—Homer’s Odyssey—in its entirety. Widely regarded as a foundational text, The Odyssey is a must-read for students interested in mythology, literature, and the ancient world. Its themes of heroism, identity, homecoming, and the tension between fate and free will continue to resonate today.
Each 30-minute class focuses on one of the poem’s 24 chapters (called “books”). Students work with both the acclaimed modern translation by Emily Wilson and Gareth Hinds’ graphic novel adaptation. Discussions delve into the text and its mythological background, explore key aspects of ancient Greek history and culture, and invite students to respond through creative projects.
