For Wednesday: Greek Myths and The Odyssey


There's no reading for Wednesday's class (and Monday is Labor Day), so just come to class so we can discuss some ideas that will help us appreciate what we discover in the first books of The Odyssey. Since this is our longest book, I suggest you start reading it just to get ahead. We'll discuss Books 1-4 on the following Monday, so try to get some of that read in advance. 

ALSO--don't forget that the first paper assignment ("The Mysteries of Gilgamesh," see two posts down) is due on Friday by 5pm. There is no class on Friday, but feel free to e-mail me with questions or concerns. I would prefer a hard copy as always, though if you have no other Friday classes I will accept an e-mailed paper. Just be sure it has an attachment, since an e-mail that arrives on time without a paper can still be late! 

See you on Wednesday!
