Why we picked it
Dear Philosophers, Homer’s poem about Odysseus’s 10-year journey home after the Trojan War, which entails battling mythical monsters and facing the wrath of gods, is considered one of the greatest stories in Western literature. I haven’t read it, but intend to for this May meetup. If you would like to join me for a conversation about the poem you can access a copy for free here: [https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1727](https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1727) And this short video is a nice summary: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Z9FQxcCAZ0&t=20s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Z9FQxcCAZ0&t=20s) Hope to see some of you there, still aways off on the other side of the winter season! Cheers, Colin **PS- please be sure to bring lawn chairs, we will be sitting by a tree past the sheltered area where the bathrooms are located.**
