This past Saturday, the Philosophy Club gathered at Loyola Hall for "A Critical Review of Homer's Odyssey", a deep dive into heroism, homecoming, and the moral world Homer built for the West.

Huge thanks to our facilitator, Esha Watto, for leading such a thought-provoking discussion, and to everyone who came out to think, question, and debate with us. Moments like these are what the Philosophy Club is all about.
