Cost: Free
Events designed to inspire people to come together to read, see, think about classical literature, how it continues to influence and invigorate American cultural life. Next up: discussion of Jonathan Shay's Achilles in Vietnam: Combat Trauma and the Undoing of Character led by UCSD classics scholar Eliot Wirshbo. "Although the Iliad was written 27 centuries ago, it has much to teach about combat trauma, as do the more recent, compelling voices, and experiences of Vietnam vets." 619-236-5800.
