About This Event
Have you read the Iliad? All of it? All at once? That’s what the Classics Department is planning for the Friday of Fall Family Weekend, with the help of the Classics Club, Eta Sigma Phi (the Classics Honor Society), and YOU!
Starting at 9:00 AM, October 6, and ending who-knows-when (fingers crossed we’ll be done by midnight), a succession of volunteers will recite the entirety of Homer’s epic out loud (and in English) in Hemmingson Center’s Jundt Lounge, right over the main entrance. All are welcome—students, faculty, and staff—to sign up for a ten-minute shift, or simply to drop in and wing it. Friends and family can join in too!
Contact Dr. Dave Oosterhuis at oosterhuis@gonzaga.edu for more information or to sign up for a shift.
