> We are pleased to announce the next in our Spring 2019 series of Hellenic events.
>  
> On Monday, April 8, 2019, Dr. Gregory Jusdanis, Humanities Distinguished Professor in the Department of Classics and Comparative Studies at the Ohio State University, will present a lecture entitled “Cavafy’s Odyssey.”
>  
> The lecture will take place at 6:15pm in the Kopleff Recital Hall on the Georgia State University campus. Several of Dr. Jusdanis’s most important books, including his landmark study of Cavafy, will be available for purchase at this event.
>  
> Following the lecture, and a 15 minute intermission, Dr. Nick Demos will direct the latest in his NeoPhonia music series, one in which Dr. Jusdanis's recent translation of Cavafy's poem, "Ithaca," will be set to a new musical score. The concert will begin at 7:30pm.
>  
> Dr. Jusdanis has provided this summary of his lecture topic:
>  
> Cavafy's "Ithaca" is one of the most famous poems in the world. Speaking to Odysseus just before he sets off for Ithaca, it also directs itself to all readers.  But the poem charts as well Cavafy's own odyssey as poet.  This lecture will examine earlier versions of this poem in order to consider the strategies Cavafy used to transform himself from an unpromising versifier in Alexandria to today’s global poet.
>  
> These events are free and open to the public.
>  
>  
> We hope to see many of you there!
