In the book, Invitation to the Classics, Glenn Arbery writes that “In many ways the Western literary tradition is a series of astonished encounters with the greatness of Homer.” Eva Brann observed that “Reading Homer’s poems is one of the purest, most inexhaustible pleasures life has to offer…”

The Iliad, the first of Homer’s two timeless epics, begins in the ninth year of the ten-year war between the Greeks and the Trojans, and remains one of the greatest literary works in history.

So how do we expect to plumb the depths of Homer’s Iliad in a 90-minute webinar? We don’t! We can, however, extend an invitation. Our hope, like a fine hors d’ oeuvre, is to simply increase your appetite, leading you to enjoy the full meal.
