In the context of the London 2012 Olympic Games  The Readers of
Homer [http://www.thereadersofhomer.org/] warmly invite you to
take part in the marathon reading of THE ILIAD which will take
place on July 21st from 10am to 8pm at the Hellenic Centre in
London.

200 readers of all ages and backgrounds, including
representatives of cultural societies and communities based in
London, ambassadors, artists, journalists, athletes and students
, will gather to read and sing Homer's great epic, one after the
other, in the languages of the world. The event will be enhanced
with on-stage projections of the text in English and of related
images, music interludes and by the ensemble Daemonia Nymphe on
reconstructed ancient Greek Instruments by Nicholas Brass, and
followed by a Homeric feast.

Their common aim will be to add their voices to the international
Olympic call for truce and permanent peace, just a weak before
the official opening ceremony of the 2012 Games in London,
promoting the human values and ideals which originated in Greece
thousands of years ago, and still reverberate there, in Homer's
land, despite the current crisis.

Τhe event is organized in collaboration with EllinikoTheatro and
is supported by the Hellenic Centre, the A.G. Leventis
Foundation, the Maria Tsakos Foundation and Ms. Marilena
Inglessis.

Registration is now open via  Eventora
