We are delighted to announce the arrival of Joe Goodkin, the modern bard, in Edinburgh for his extraordinary rendition of Homer's Odyssey. Prepare to be captivated by Joe Goodkin's unique interpretation of this timeless epic, as he presents his 35-minute original musical composition for solo acoustic guitar and voice. Drawing on his Bachelor's Degree in Classics from the esteemed University of Wisconsin-Madison, Joe combines his profound understanding of the ancient text with his talent as a professional musician to deliver a contemporary musical experience that pays homage to the original oral tradition in which the Odyssey was conceived.

Part lecture, part musical performance, and part interactive discussion, Joe's programme offers a truly immersive encounter with Odysseus' legendary adventures. The focal point of the evening is a mesmerizing performance of 24 original songs, each inspired by the extraordinary exploits of the hero. From his encounters with mythical creatures to his triumphant return home, Joe's lyrics vividly bring to life the essence of the Odyssey.

Joe has received international acclaim for his mastery of this remarkable piece, having performed it over 360 times across North America and Europe. Now, for the first time, he will be gracing the UK with his presence, starting with a captivating performance in the beautiful city of Edinburgh. Join us at the University of Edinburgh's Adam House Basement Theatre on April 25, 2024, for an unforgettable evening of music and engaging discussions. Admission is free, so be sure to mark your calendars for this extraordinary event.

Located in Edinburgh, Scotland, Edinburgh Castle sits atop a volcanic rock called &quot;Castle Rock&quot;. It is one of Scotland&#39;s most famous landmarks, combining rich history and architectural features.
Historical Background
● Construction period: Edinburgh Castle was built in the 6th century AD and is one of the oldest fortresses in Europe.
● Royal residence and military fortress: From 1070, the castle became the Royal Castle of Scotland, and from the 17th century it became a military base.
● Important events: The castle has experienced many sieges and wars. Although some buildings were destroyed in the war, the overall structure still stands.
Architectural Features
● Architectural style: It combines medieval stone fortifications and Victorian additions, showing architectural styles from various historical periods.
● Defensive structure: The heavy stone walls and high towers reflect the characteristics of medieval defensive buildings, and the slope and cliff design increase the castle&#39;s defensive capabilities.

● Argyll Battery: Once used for defense, now it is a viewing platform overlooking the entire city of Edinburgh.
● Scottish National War Memorial: Displays items and letters of Scottish soldiers who died in World War II and other wars.

The scenery is nice, but no photography is allowed inside. The ticket comes with a Chinese explanation, which is quite interesting. It mainly talks about the use of the Scottish royal family from King David of Scotland in the 12th century to James VI in the 17th century, and the assassination room of Mary of Scotland and her husband Darnley.
