Using Robert Fagles’ translation of the Odyssey (required), we will do a close reading and discussion of the poem. 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 was a lecturer in Classics and Great Books at UM and taught Latin and English at Ann Arbor’s Community High School.

The study group will meet Mondays from April 5 through May 17. Preregistration is required via the OLLI website or phone. A link to access the study group will be e-mailed to you approximately one week prior to the first session.
