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.
