The Iliad & The Odyssey

Three sessions will be devoted to The Iliad and three to The Odyssey. These epics tell the rest of the story—the end of the Bronze Age and its collapse. Greece lost the ability to write for almost 400 years during its Dark Age, but saw the emergence of Homer, telling a history of gods and men, their triumphs and tragedies. Bronze Age weapons and tactics plus court intrigues were on dramatic display in these epic poems, which have stood the test of time and thrilled the hearts of generations.
