[Homer2009-1] Brief Intros

[Rachel Rosenfelt]

Greetings all!
I'm Rachel: I have no background whatsoever in Classics, Latin, or Greek and
Roman history. I'm a 23-year-old recent college graduate who lives in New
York City. My background is mostly in American intellectual/cultural studies
and take a great interest in the history of ideas. I am curious about
continued education outside of degree-granting institutions, so I'm very
much looking forward to participating in Reading Odyssey.
