The Department of Classics presents, The Blues of Achilles. A set of original songs composed by Joe Goodkin for guitar and vocals, the Blues of Achilles tell the story of Homer's Iliad through the eyes of the characters: Achilles, Patroklus, Briseis, Helen, Priam, and more. The performance evokes the original oral tradition of epic bards that stretches back millennia but frames the poem in an accessible way (both musically and narratively) for modern audiences.
