Homerathon, 2013: Last spring, our troupe took on The Iliad: We led a 24 hour reading of the epic poem--in its entirety! Professor of Classics Charles F. Pazdernik personally designed our t-shirts and the final book was read by our translator of the text, Stanley Lombardo. To learn more about the event, find coverage of it here and here. Some pictures from the weekend are below. If you missed last year, don't miss this spring!
