GREEK SIGHT READING GROUP

 Permanent link

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.
