Homerathon VIII!
September 30, 2022
Join us on September 28 & 29 for a multifaceted exploration of Love, Betrayal, War, Loss, Pain, Reconciliation, and other experiences that define our common humanity. Is all really fair in love and war? How do we heal and respond to trauma? Be part of the conversation as we engage these Epic issues, beginning with Homer's Iliad and branching through ancient and contemporary art, poetry, fiction, drama, and athletics.
