“The Iliad presents a unique opportunity for readers to engage with profoundly foreign contexts, to grapple with contrasting worldviews, and, ultimately, to meaningfully and empathetically approach otherness,” Dr. Allen said. “Reading the Iliad can provoke us to recognize and better understand our most basic assumptions about truth. Yet even in moments when the world it portrays can feel most alien, the Iliad invites a deep sense of recognition of and connection to what it means to be human.”
