SHAHNAMEH [in English] 

An interactive seminar exploring Ferdowsi's epic Shahnameh.

BEGINS SEPTEMBER 27th - through June 2024

 ABOUT THE COURSE :

SHAHNAMEH is a chronicle of consciousness, told in the form of heroic battles and epic romance. Ferdowsi's epic work offers a unique opportunity for us to ask: Who are we, where did we come from, how did we get here, and where do we want to go?

Through guided discussion, we will explore in depth the possible meanings and messages within the mythical stories.

We will read the original text and translate as we go along. The discussion will be in English; no knowledge of Farsi/Persian is required.

Seminar and discussions will be directed by Omid Arabian.

SCHEDULE:   Wednesdays 7-9 pm 

LOCATION:   online via Zoom

TUITION per person:  $895

NOTE: The course will run until end of June 2024.
