Homer and the Odyssey: Adult


Adult / Lifelong Learning -
Adult Winter/Spring 2026

Coming out in mid-2026, the movie "The Odyssey" will be the film event of the year. Matt Damon plays Odysseus, and Anne Hathaway plays Penelope. To best appreciate the movie, learn about the epic poem on which it’s based. This course will describe Homer and the poem—which, along with Homer’s "Iliad", are the oldest works of Western literature and actually pre-date writing. In addition to the poem, the class will present the history of the period and the method by which Homer crafted his works. Students are encouraged to read the book, but it is not necessary.
