Join us on October nineteenth for a marathon reading of Homer’s Odyssey, (the new Emily Wilson translation) held in relation to the Interstellar Exploration Colloquium of the Honors Program.
We’ll kick off at 8:00 a.m. in Lippitt Hall with coffee and snacks, with readings taking place in different locations all throughout the day. (See the schedule below.)
We’ll enjoy a pizza lunch while reading in Swan Hall from 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m., and conclude with readings and snacks back in Lippitt Hall from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
There are 24 sign-up slots available, with each reading lasting between 25 and 45 minutes. (pages will be provided.)
