Glass Wave is a Bay Area cerebral rock band formed in 2008 by Robert Pogue Harrison and Dan Edelstein, both professors of literature at Stanford University. The band was conceived originally as a literary musical collaboration for their team-taught Introduction to the Humanities course entitled Epic Journeys, sponsored by the university's Department of French and Italian. At the end of the academic quarter in winter 2008, Harrison and Edelstein staged a surprise live musical performance for approximately 100 freshmen in their course. The performance consisted of classic rock adaptations of great epic works of the western canon including The Epic of Gilgamesh, The Divine Comedy, and The Odyssey. Their initial name for the group was Arma Virumque, the first line of Virgil’s Aeneid, which reads “Arma virumque cano” (“I sing of arms and of a man”).
