Life and Sex in Sparta
This online-only event will take place at the start of March when legendary historian and Professor of Greek Culture Emeritus at the University of Cambridge, Paul Cartledge, sheds light on some of the more under-discussed aspects of ancient Spartan life and culture, with a particular focus on love and relationships (NB: some ancient images shown may include erotic graphics).
Paul came to visit Lytham St Annes back in 2016 and he has remained a friend to the branch, and a tremendous support, as patron of our national Classics Competition. A prolific writer and researcher, he is also the President of the Hellenic Society, an honorary citizen of (modern) Sparta, and a holder of the Gold Cross of the Order of Honour of Greece.
