As the most prestigious form of literary and oral expression in the Greco-Roman world, epic poetry educated, validated and entertained ancient audiences from Greek mountainsides to the city of Rome and beyond.

We will also examine how and why modern authors from a variety of socio-political, ethnic and cultural contexts continue to engage with Greco-Roman epic.
