Reading The Classics With Max: Vergil's Aeneid

About this event

Please join us for a new literary series: Reading the Classics with Max Gabrielson! Discover why Vergil’s Aeneid has captivated readers for over two thousand years in this friendly, discussion-based reading group. We’ll explore Aeneas’ destined mission to found the Roman Empire while talking about the poem’s timeless themes of love, loss, courage, and leadership. No background in Latin or classical literature is needed - just curiosity, a willingness to read, and an interest in sharing ideas with fellow readers. We'll be using the Fagles translation. Advance registration is required as space is limited. Register online or call 203-762-6334. There is no charge for this program. This lecture series is made possible with the support of the Literary Series in Memory of Amy Quigley. By registering for the first session you will automatically be registered for all six sessions. Please email Andrea Sato with any questions at asato@wiltonlibrary.org. Max Gabrielson taught Latin and Ancient Greek at Wilton High School for twenty-six years. He holds a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in classics.
