The Illiad
This video series is inspired by the bardic oral tradition of Greek epic poetry. In its day it was performed live through drama and music. It was not until Homer that this stuff was written down to preserve Greek culture. I am inspired by this story and by reading it out aloud because it relates to my Expressions Arts Festival (a festival of self-expression through different artistic mediums). Coming 2026.
