As we celebrate the epic adventure of Odysseus in a bigger-than-life movie extravaganza, The Odyssey directed by Christopher Nolan, a hero’s journey that has revived interest in classical literature, we might wonder: Where is the heroine? She appears in the literature of antiquity, her exploits told, her hymns sung.
Join Kate Farrell and Megan E. McDonald to explore the hidden terrain of the heroines’ journey at its most dramatic and transformative in their ancient, suppressed tales and leave with a sense of awe. We will share powerful excerpts and provide writing prompts so that the old stories become living maps once again.
