This study group will do a close reading and discussion of Homer’s Odyssey (Robert Fagles’ translation, Penguin Classics). We will get to know Odysseus, “that man of many ways,” as war hero; as master of disguise; as teller of tales; as skilled craftsman and finally, as husband and father.

Instructor Marilyn Scott is a former lecturer in UM’s Great Books and Classical Studies programs, as well as a retired instructor in Latin and English at Community High School.

This study group, restricted to those 50 and over, will meet for two hours on Wednesdays from January 25 through March 8.
