D.O.C. House
We will carefully read Homer’s Odyssey both in and out of class. Each participant will write no more than two pages a week about something that catches his/her fancy in the weekly reading. We will share the papers as a stimulus to discussion of the reading. You’d be amazed what others find fascinating! One could say that Odyssey is the most important book ever written since it keeps coming up in everything else that we read. There is a collection of poetry written about the book which we will look at after we’ve done the reading.
Class is limited to 10 members.
