“The Heroic Profiles of Achilles and Odysseus in Homer”: An Online Lecture with Dr. Stamatia Dova
Tuesday, March 22nd (2016) at 10:00 a.m. Pacific
Dr. Stamatia Dova (Ph.D. Harvard 2001), Professor of Classics and Modern Greek Studies at Hellenic College Holy Cross will offer a free online lecture to the CLRC community on “The Heroic Profiles of Achilles and Odysseus in Homer” on Tuesday, March 22nd at 10:00 a.m. Pacific time (1:00 p.m. Eastern).
Dr. Dova taught an exceptional 8-week unit on Plutarch for CLRC’s Greek Reading course last spring and we’re looking forward to her continued involvement with the CLRC through this lecture.
The lecture is geared toward high school students or general audiences with some previous exposure to Homer. If you would like to attend please reply to this email and we will send you the link for the lecture room.
