About
Despite modern technology, we still face many of the same problems as the ancients — including getting seriously lost. Is there anything the Greeks can teach us about wayfinding, perseverance and even justice? Join classicist Daniel Mendelsohn as he discusses his English translation of “The Odyssey” and how he approached bringing new life to one of our oldest stories. Sponsor: Kluge Center.
