Over at r/AYearOfMythology we are gearing up to start our second year within the Greco-Roman mythos. In 2023 we covered most of the big epics - Homer's 'Iliad' and 'Odyssey and Virgil's 'Aeneid'. Due to this we will be focusing on other texts in 2024 in order to more fully explore the mythos.

We will be starting the year off with a non-fiction book: Edith Hamilton's 'The Greek Way'. We usually focus on classical texts but for 2024 we wanted to learn a bit more about the context behind the surviving literature. So, throughout the year we intend to supplement the classical texts with some non-fiction. We are still going to be reading a lot of classics though. For more information, please check out our full 2024 schedule here.

We will be reading 'The Greek Way' for most of January and then we will be starting Hesiod's 'Theogony' and 'Works and Days'. We will be reading a lot of plays in 2024, including works by Euripides and Sophocles. We will also be reading Ovid's 'Metamorphoses' and Virgil's 'Georgics' during the year.

If any of that sounds interesting to you, please check out our sub. We post weekly discussion posts to talk about each week's material. Readers are free to follow our full schedule or pick and choose whatever texts appeal to them.
