The National Hellenic Museum and the UIC Department of Classics and Mediterranean Studies are thrilled to co-host a Homer-athon: A Reading of Homer's Odyssey.

Together, at the museum, we will read the ancient tale of Odysseus' journey home from war - a changed man who found a changed family and household. Like him, each of us is also adjusting to new circumstances in our lives as we emerge from the pandemic. What better way to begin our journey home together?

Each reader will be assigned a specific passage that is approximately 3 minutes long. Sign up for one passage or many. If being a reader isn’t for you, consider participating as an audience member. Bring your friends and stay for as long as you like at this engaging, live event!

Friday, April 8: Noon - 7 pm

Saturday, April 9: 10 am - 4 pm
