Poetry Café: Dipping into "The Odyssey"

For this online meeting of Poetry Caf discussion group, we will meet up with wise and wily deities, sea monsters and sirens, a complicated father-son relationship, a queen who fends off loathsome suitors, and a ship that travels where no one has gone before. Well read and discuss passages from HomersThe Odyssey. Here is an epic poem that has everything: love, betrayal, revenge, redemption...and witchcraft! Read the book (or parts of it) before you see the movie! HINT: Wondering what entiretranslation of the Odyssey to read? I recommend this thoughtful and funnyvideo by married scholars for their reviews of different translations. Please register online.
