Come and improve your ancient
Greek in an enjoyable and informal lunch time setting, every Tuesday through
the semester, with Visiting International Scholar Letizia Palladini. Bring a
lunch and dig into Lucian’s Icaromenippus, a travelogue of one man’s fanciful
journey to the home of the gods to find out from Zeus himself which of the
philosophical sects is closest to having the truth. This amusing satire of
philosophy and of traditional polytheism includes, among other things, literary
history’s first trip to the moon. Tuesdays 12:00-1:00, East College 111. Texts
will be provided.
