Homer, The Iliad: the Emily Wilson translation

March 20-April 24, 2024, Wednesdays, 6:30-8:30 p.m. (six sessions)
925 SW Washington Street Portland, OR 97205

$240

Emily Wilson’s new translation of the Iliad, building on the accomplishment of her recent translation of the Odyssey, has kindled fresh interest in Homer’s perennially relevant war epic. In this six-week seminar, we will read our way through Homer’s text while exploring the rewards of this remarkable translation, a work of both scholarly acuity and creative boldness that gives fresh life to Homer’s astonishing, often heartbreaking poem.
