2/3: beginning

...The Odyssey in the Myth class.  It's the first time I'm using Emily Wilson's translation, and though I've been glad to teach Robert Fagles' translation in the past, it's good to have a change.  I also had to change the first day of readings to start to make up for last week's cancellations due to weather.  We read both Book 1 and Book 2 for today (instead of just Book 1).  That worked well and took us comfortably just to the end of class.
