Don't miss your last chance to listen to Homer Week on BBC 3's new series, Greek and Latin Voices. The programs are only available online for a week, so make time this weekend to listen to the four 15-minute glimpses into the world of Homer. Monday's show looked at Homer's very human heros, and on Tuesday was presented a perspective on what Homer's work says about poets, perhaps including Homer himself. I particularly enjoyed Wednesday's episode, in which Oliver Taplin takes a literary view and looks at some of Homer's themes and devices. In the last program, poet Michael Longley brings Homer into the modern age through his own poetry. If you do listen to Monday's program, stay online to hear the great music that makes up the rest of the podcast.
Next week they turn to Latin literature and Horace. To see what else is coming up, see the Greek and Latin Voices schedule.
