66 actors undertake ambitious reading of Homer’s ‘Iliad’ (vid)

66 actors undertook the ambitious reading of the Iliad thanks to Cambridge classics professor Simon Goldhill. More than 50,000 people watched online as the ambitious reading took place on August 14 in front of live audiences at the British Museum. Now, the project can be enjoyed at Almeida’s website until September 21, 2016.

Readers include Brian Cox, Simon Russell Beale, Pippa Bennett-Warner, Mariah Gale and many more British thespians who deliver a stirring interpretation of Robert Fagles’ translation of the Homeric work!
