We laughed with Terence at the first MCA Summer reading, and last year we were shocked by the outrages of Tacitus’ Julio-Claudians. This summer, the pits of Hades itself will open up, as we read Sextus Pompey’s conversation with the witch Erictho and her reanimation of a corpse in the sixth book of Lucan’s Bellum Civile.
Join us on Thursday, July 17th, from 11am-3pm in Bowdoinham, as our intrepid textual guide, Ross Shaler, leads us in our third MCA Summer Reading Event. A text and commentary will be provided to those who register – all we ask of you is your enthusiasm and something to share during our potluck lunch. Please register for this event here.
