August Lecture - The World of Homer
About
In examining the history and cultural legacy of the two earliest works in the western literary canon, the Iliad and the Odyssey, this talk will outline each plot and focus on how and why these poems have cast such a spell on artists and writers ever since: from ancient Greek tragedy and vase painting, through renaissance artists such as Botticelli and Bernini, up to modern authors such as James Joyce and Madeleine Miller. Understanding the world of Homer is an essential element for understanding the history of western art.For full details of the lecture see our website - https://www.artsnational.au/societies/hobart/
