Homer’s The Iliad and The Odyssey: Class 1

Homer’s The Iliad and The Odyssey
Harmar Brereton, M.D.
Fall 2018
Who was Homer and how do we have his epics? In this class, they reviewed both The Iliad and The Odyssey (Robert Fagles’ translations). Also, Homer’s impact up to today with an emphasis on Carl Jung’s psychology.

What an absolutely wonderful lecture! Bit unfortunate that the images on the screen couldn't be seen very clearly but they could be googled easily enough anyway. Thank you for uploading this; it's access to things like this which show the true value of the internet. Edit: Would love to hear Mr Brereton's comparisons between the many translations of Homer that are available and whether he has a favourite, as opposed to one that is perhaps used regularly as a scholarly 'standard' translation for students.
