The Readers of Homer is a not-for-profit, tax-exempt, international literary production company that creates all-day or all-night readings
     of The Iliad orThe Odyssey in locations humble and sublime, domestically and abroad. The audience and the readers are the same,
     - anyone who is interested and willing to create, share and endure an extended experience of art and time.
      Our aim is to revivify the tradition of story-telling, to honor the great art of Homer and the cultures that continue to appreciate this seminal humanism.

Chios 2008


On July 18, 2008, The Readers of Homer returned to Daskalopetra, Chios, Greece - the purported birthplace of Homer. This was our second annual event on the island and the Mayor of Omeropoulis cites this as the beginning of an annual festival. We could not have been more moved or thrilled with the event. Deep gratitude to all who helped (so much!) and all who came. We will update this page properly with photos, reviews and videos soon. Please come back shortly.
