About this Event

Take a tour of translations of the Odyssey, from Chapman to Emily Wilson, and discover how the Victorians actually discovered Bronze Age Greece in excavation and text. Cultural historian Dr Debbie Challis, resident expert on Alex Andreou's Podyssey on Greek myth, will guide you on a journey around the Portico's collections and promises that it won't take as long as Odysseus' homecoming.
