Homerathon 2025

Starting at 9 am, we will be reading the entire Odyssey over the course of 12 hours! There are very few works in history that have had the impact of the Odyssey. Audiences have enjoyed the work for centuries and innumerable artists have invoked the story and its characters in their own pieces, leaving a mark on the western canon the size of the Grand Canyon. Stop by the Ped Mall (just off E. Washington St.) and soak up the magic, heroism, love, and grief in the audience, or sign up for a slot to read on our Homerathon website!
