[Herodotus2010] Listen to the Herodotus Introduction online

[Marty Brody]

Hello:
 
I'm Marty Brody. I live in Skokie Illinois, a Chicago Suburb. I'm the credit manager for Tech Lighting, a manufacturer of very up to the moment mostly overhead lighting. Lots of LED and other energy saving fixtures in addition to great styling. 
 
Five mornings a week I do water aerobics or stationary bicycle ride. I'm a great fan of theatre and classical music. I am able to attend 40 to 50 live theater performances and Chicago Symphony Orchestra performances each year by volunteering through a performing arts volunteer group called "The Saints".
 
I enjoy reading histories and biographies.

This is my second encounter with Reading Odyssey. I read The Odyssey with this group last spring. Herodotus looks great from what I've read so far and I'm looking forward to this experience.

Hi, I am Helen Haertl.  I live in Portland, OR and work in the consumer experience arena (mainly online) in the healthcare industry.  This is my second Reading Odyssey - the first was The Odyssey. I've always wanted to read more of the classics and this is a great way motivate myself to do so and to get insight from others doing the same thing.

Dear readers,
Thanks for your participation and questions last night during our kickoff call.  If you would like to listen to it, please go to:
http://showsupport.typepad.com/odyssey/2010/10/herodotus-introduction-october-2010-audio-recording.html

I am attaching some follow up information in response to your questions last night.  I hope it will help you get started in Book I.  I will be sending out more specific study guide questions, which we will use as discussion anchor points, in the next week or so.  

Glad to "meet" you all.  If you would like to "introduce" yourself to the rest of the group, please 'reply to all' and say a few things about yourself.  I will start the ball rolling:

I am Andre Stipanovic from Plano, Texas.  I teach high school Latin language and literature at the Hockaday School in Dallas.  When I am not reading Roman or Greek literature, I love to ride bikes with my family, go camping/hiking, and play games (especially chess).  Newest hobby:  watching Jupiter these last few weeks through a telescope.
