For over 3000 years, storytellers have spun Homer's timeless epics, "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey," weaving tales of heroism, love, betrayal, and tragedy. "The Iliad" chronicles the anguish and futility of the Trojan War, with its legendary heroes Achilles and Hector battling to the death for honor and homeland. The cunning Trojan Horse ultimately seals the conflict's end after a decade-long struggle. Meanwhile, "The Odyssey" follows the Greek strategist Odysseus on his ten-year odyssey homeward, beset by monsters, divine wrath, and a journey to the underworld, before reuniting with his family in Ithaca. Join Dr. Margery Marcus for a journey through ancient Troy, encounters with the Lotus Eaters, the Cyclops' cave, Circe's Island, and a descent into Hades. Brace yourself for more peril as Odysseus faces trials upon his long-awaited return home! This captivating lecture features a vibrant PowerPoint presentation. Space is limited.
