Odyssey Day at UNLV Oct. 15

Student and faculty collaborators from the UNLV Departments of History, World Languages and Cultures, and Art History, and the Lied Library, are pleased to announce Oct. 15, 2026 as Odyssey Day.

The day will consist of a series of public events around campus that showcase the legacy of Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey, and builds on Christopher Nolan's recent blockbuster film.

This program is being held in conjunction with other Odyssey Days around the United States led by the Society for Classical Studies. The entire campus community is welcome to attend and participate. Contact John Haberstroh (john.haberstroh@unlv.edu) if you want to be involved or for any questions.
