From the heart of the Roman republic to the soul of Greek democracy, this program offers you an unforgettable odyssey. Homer, Virgil, Cicero, and Plato will be our guides as we explore the ruins and examine great literature. By reading from Homer's the Iliad and Odyssey, re-enacting Greek plays, and participating in symposium discussions, you discover hidden insights that transcend time.
