Join us for a presentation from Dr. Roger Travis as he discusses the Homeric oral tradition that gave us the Odyssey - and the summer blockbuster the epic inspired. This program will discuss the original ancient work and how the film brings it to life.
Dr. Travis is an Associate Professor of Classics in the Department of Literatures, Cultures & Languages of the University of Connecticut. He has published work on Homeric epic, Greek tragedy, Greek historiography, the 19th C. British novel, and video games as learning tools.
