Summer with Homer

Transcript of radio programs by the famous French travel writer Sylvain Tesson (born 1972), in which he discusses the Iliad and the Odyssey in a fascinating way, inviting us to refresh our memory of the school curriculum or to take a fresh look at the works of the ancient Greek thinker.

“Remember the time when we were forced to read these boring epics. We were schoolchildren — Homer was on the program. We wanted to play outside. We were terribly bored and looked out the window at the sky, in which the divine chariot never showed itself. But what if now the time has come to soak up these golden verses, to enjoy these electrifying lines, eternal because unique, these noisy and furious songs, full of wisdom and such unbearable beauty that poets continue to mutter them through tears even today?”
