THE TRIAL OF ODYSSEUS
THURSDAY, MARCH 12, 2026 | 7:00 PM
Join the HBA for The Trial of Odysseus on Thursday, March 12, 2026, at 7:00 PM at the Harris Theater, Chicago, a signature event supporting the National Hellenic Museum.
The Trial of Odysseus is a live mock trial that brings ancient history and myth to life in a modern courtroom setting. Odysseus returns home from war to find his household overrun with suitors seeking to claim his wife, property, and throne. His violent response—culminating in the slaying of the suitors—raises enduring questions of power, justice, and responsibility.
Leading attorneys will argue the case before esteemed judges, and you, the audience, cast the final vote. Was Odysseus a hero—or a criminal?
