The Night School for Deeper Learning with Homer (8th Century BCE)

Rick Ganz introduces us to special guest Homer and his epic work The Odyssey. From the Britannica Online Encyclopedia: "little is known of [Homer] beyond the fact that his was the name attached in antiquity by the Greeks themselves to the poems [the Iliad and the Odyssey]. That there was an epic poet called Homer and that he played the primary part in shaping the Iliad and the Odyssey—so much may be said to be probable. If this assumption is accepted, then Homer must assuredly be one of the greatest of the world’s literary artists."
