The Arts Society Enfield: The World of Homer
Thursday 29 May 10.30am
Enfield Baptist Church, Cecil Road, EN2 6TG
The World of Homer
James Renshaw
This talk examines the history and cultural legacy of the two earliest works in the western literary canon: the Iliad and the Odyssey. After an outline of each plotline, the talk will focus on how and why these poems have cast such a spell on artists and writers ever since, from ancient Greek tragedy and vase painting, through renaissance artists such as Botticelli and Bernini, and up to modern authors such as James Joyce and Madeleine Miller. Understanding the world of Homer is an essential element for understanding the history of western art
