First Meeting of Gabe's Book Club - Emily Wilson's Translation of "The Iliad" - June 11, 2024

The first online meeting of the book club Gabe has assembled went well. There are four of us. I was surprised to learn the two Christinas in the group knew each other as classics students at the University of Arizona (which is also my alma mater). 

We didn't get into too much detail at this first meeting. I had completely read through the work (an excellent translation!), but apparently we are going back and will cover the work in great detail, starting at the next meeting (July 9th). 

On the way, they mentioned the work of classics student (and standup comedienne) Natalie Haynes, so I had to look that up.
