[Homer2009-1] Next and Final Conference Call

[Andre Stipanovic]

Dear Fellow Readers,
Hope your Thanksgiving was bountiful and that your reading has been
enjoyable.  I just want to remind you about our upcoming final conference
call for Homer's Odyssey next week:  Monday Dec 7, @8pm EST.  Phone# 1 888
350 0075, passcode 1100494#.  Please look over our Study Guide Questions
which were sent out earlier in November, and are also posted on the
Reading Odyssey website, to help guide your reading and thinking about
this great epic.  We will be discussing the conclusion to the Odyssey and
Odysseus' revenge on the suitors as well as reunion with his wife
Penelope.  Please join us as we wrap up this classic.
Remember that the following Monday Dec 14 will be a special recitation by
none other than Stanley Lombardo.  Check out the details for this and
other upcoming events in 2010.  I will be leading a Xenophon reading group
in January and we will be using the newly published Landmark Hellenika. 
Xenophon picks up where Thucydides leaves off, thus finishing a narrative
of the Peloponnesian War, then narrating events of Greek city-states in
the 4th cent. BC leading up to Philip of Macedon.  This is a great bridge
to Alexander the Great's eventual campaigns.  Later in 2010, special
events relating to the 2500 year anniversary of the battle of Marathon
will be scheduled.  We will also be leading a Herodotus reading group
sometime in September of 2010.
Have a great week!
Andre

so the mind cannot be productive without education."
