Amazing. I love all the Greek stuff, but the Odyssey is in a class of it’s own.
Wily Odysseus, faithful Penelope, monsters, trips to the Underworld. Truly the best of the Classics.
Thanks as always for the great posts!
(and of course, those Sirens...Tim Buckley had something to say about that!)
I enrolled in an adult poetry class in 2000. We were told Homer and Shelley were not worthy of study, but Shakur was.
I dropped after one session.
Wow, a Tim Buckley reference to boot! Lousy father, dope addict, but both prolific and marvelously creative musician.
