The Art of the Odyssey: Classical Mythology in Stories & Art

Professional storyteller Tom Lee shares tales from ancient classical myth, and depictions of them in art throughout the millennia.

About Tom Lee

Tom Lee is a professional storyteller with thirty years’ experience performing traditional stories, folktales and myths for adults and for children.

Tom began researching traditional stories while living in Scotland. His first performances were late night retellings of Grimm’s fairy tales in a tiny theater at the back of a London pub called, appropriately, “The Man in the Moon.” This program was presented at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and on BBC-TV.

Tom Lee performs for adults in theaters and at festivals throughout the country. His richly evocative performances allow adults reacquaint themselves with the power of a well told story, and to reflect on their own response to ancient narratives.

Tom is a frequent guest artist in museums, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, where he brings together his passion for research, art, story, and for connection with new audiences. He is a performing arts partner with the Yale Center for British Art and the Metropolitan Opera Education Conference.
