In great literature, art, music and film, we learn from the experiences of the characters. Geography of Self is a learning experience is designed to complement a reading of Homer's Iliad.
NOW WHAT?
Read books, write stories, talk to people, play games and find your place in the world. Here are some ideas:
-
Read one of the novels highlighted in Geography of Self
-
Research the monomyth across cultures
-
Compare the Greek hero Achilles with Rama from the Hindu Ramayana.

Create a multimedia biography on one of the unlikely heroes and share it.
