Virgil's Aeneid, Another Odyssey (Fall Term 2017)

Participant Testimonials:

Susan was laid back, but also prepared and incisive.

Study Leader's historical and literary knowledge were a definite plus, as were the helpful visual aids she employed from time to time. Her intimate understanding Latin--Vergil's language--was a real plus, both as an intuitive tool, but also as a measure of the strengths and weaknesses of modern attempts to translate the work into English.

Discussions were fun, and Susan encouraged us to participate. Everyone's ideas were welcomed into the discussion.
