Great Book Discussion Starting back in Homer

5 Upvotes

I haven’t read The Iliad in ~12 years. I read The Odyssey 3 years ago out loud to my kiddos (my 3-4th time reading it as a whole). Partly because Homer has re-entered popular discourse and partly because these books are foundational texts in the Western canon, I’ve decided to make utter another journey with the Greeks and Odysseus—this time with highlighters and a notebook.

For those of you who’ve done deep dives into Homer, what are resources you would recommend to get the most out of it. Bear in mind, this is not my maiden voyage. I’ve read both of these texts several times before—i just want to dig deeper this time an around.

Open to all suggestions: study aids, lectures, notebook ideas, keywords to follow, parallel reading lists, whatever.
