SUMMARY:Luke Pitcher to speak on 'How to start a story in the ancient world'
DESCRIPTION:On Monday 14th September at 4.30 pm\, Dr Luke Pitcher will be speaking on: \n‘How to start a story in the ancient world’ \nThere are many ways in which stories let us know that they are getting underway: “once upon a time…”; “in the beginning…”; “long\, long ago…”. But how did ancient authors get things started? And what difference does it make where you choose to start a story? \nLuke Pitcher is Associate Professor in Classical Languages and Literature and Fellow and Tutor in Classics at Somerville College\, Oxford. He specialises in classical historiography. \nThe talk is hosted by the St Paul’s Girls’ School Classics Society. Tea and cake will be served from 4.00 in the Dining Hall and the talk will be held in the Old Library. The event will finish between 5.30 and 6.00. There is no charge. \nThe address of the school is St Paul’s Girls’ School\, Brook Green\, London\, W6 7BS; main telephone 020 7603 2288. The nearest tube is Hammersmith. \nAll are welcome\, but if you or your pupils would like to attend\, please email Gregory Wilsdon at gregory.wilsdon@spgs.org with expected numbers as soon as possible and at the latest by Friday 11th September.
