• Classical Languages and Literature
   
• War and Lament in Homer

At the University of Basel, a team of Hellenists is producing a new commentary on Homer's Iliad. I wish to benefit from this community of scholars while taking courses in the classical languages and conducting research on lamentation in the Iliad to discover whether Homer expresses an anti-war message in the poem—an old question, now somewhat neglected, that has new relevance to the contemporary world.
