“Sing, Goddess, Achilles’ rage, black and murderous, that cost the Greeks incalculable pain…” With Homer’s immortal Iliad, Classical Greek civilization and the Western tradition may be said to be born with a shout from the head of a god. Please join this week’s Online Reading of the Iliad in dramatic form, featuring Stanley Lombardo’s revolutionary and performative translation. Hosted by Joel Christensen, with special guest Lynn Kozak. Presented by the Harvard Center for Hellenic Studies, the Kosmos Society, and the Out of Chaos Theatre. Stream this archived video HERE.
