The Iliad

[keiliss]

Today the British Museum is hosting a live reading of Homer's Iliad from start to finish using more than 60 artists. The live feed can be found HERE.

I have a limited data cap and know I should only listen for a few minutes but I'm absolutely enthralled. The woman currently reading is bringing every word to life.

Wonderful! It's hard to beat Homer - true literature that has survived the centuries, beloved in every generation. I would love to see this performed/read in an amphitheater.

Hearing it was so different to reading it aloud, like the difference between shades of grey and colour.
