Speaker: STANLEY LOMBARDO
Professor of Classics, University of Kansas
Lecture: A Performance from Homer’s Odyssey
8:00 PM EST/ 5:00 PM PST (90 minute reading, discussion, and Q&A)
Monday, December 14, at
8pm eastern time live via teleconference, University of Kansas Professor of
Classics, Stanley Lombardo, will deliver a performance from Homer’s Odyssey, hosted by The Reading Odyssey. Sponsors include Citrix Online and
Constant Contact.
In antiquity, Homer’s verses were “sung” by
trained, professional singers. Professor
Lombardo’s award winning translations of Homer’s works are deeply informed by
his own live performances of the poems in both the original Greek and in
English. In this lecture, Professor Lombardo will “sing” selected passages from
Homer’s Odyssey. Afterwards, he’ll
share his thoughts about the impact performing has had on his understanding of
these ancient poems and the art of translating them for modern audiences. Finally, there will be some time for Q
and A.
