About

The Latin Poem team returns to Cheltenham for a serious, and fun, look at some ancient poetry.

The Latin Poem team returns to Cheltenham for a serious, and fun, look at some ancient poetry.

This year, in the midst of Odyssey fever, they explore what Roman poets made of Homer's epic: Virgil on the Cyclops; Ovid on what it feels like when the witch Circe turns you into a pig; and Horace on why we should read the Odyssey.

Texts and translations provided and no knowledge of Latin is required.

There will be a book signing after this event.
