Rachel Lesser Lecture, Thursday, March 7 at 4:00 References: <3D774DA1-001D-433B-A772-B0F09EEC836E@fsu.edu> Message-ID: <78C34AE1-6E5E-4DAC-90C9-954AFDC6395F@fsu.edu> This is a reminder that Professor Rachel Lesser of Gettysburg College will give a talk, ?How Queer is Homer?s Iliad??, next Thursday at 4:00 in Williams 121. As the culminating event of Classics Week, the lecture will accessible to undergraduate audiences and others who have not yet begun studying Greek. In this lecture, Dr. Lesser approaches Homer?s Iliad, the seminal ancient Greek epic poem, using queer theory. She suggests that the central characters of Achilles, Paris, and Helen are all positioned as queer in their deviance from the epic?s norms of gender and sexuality. She shows how their queerness is essential to the Iliad?s plot of death, suffering, and heroism on the Trojan battlefield, and therefore concludes that we can conceive of the Iliad as a queer epic. Please join us for the lecture and the reception that will follow! _______________________________________________ Daniel J.
