The 10-year journey described by Homer in his epic poem has come into common parlance as a synonym for a long series of vicissitudes. In a lecture Wednesday, October 19, Ian Storey will discuss modern attempts to retract the ancient journey in the Odyssey.
Dr. Storey is a professor emeritus at Trent University and the author of the books A Guide to Ancient Greek Drama, Euripides: Suppliant Women, Eupolis: Poet of Old Comedy, and the three-volume Fragments of Old Comedy.
“Seeking Odysseus” is free and open to the public. It begins at 4 p.m. in McPherson Lounge, Alumni Hall.
