SUMMARY:Alcestis\, the Bradfield Play 2019
DESCRIPTION:In the words of Polly Caffrey\, Head of Classics at Bradfield…\n\n \n\n“We are bringing our Greek play back into line with the Oxford –Bradfield- Cambridge triennial and putting on “Alcestis” in June 2019\, a mere two years on from Persae 2017.\n\n \n\nAs you would expect from Euripides there will be something for everyone (laughter\, tears\, ott masks\, etc) but a special highlight will be the solo songs and the Kommos reconstructed by Prof Armand D’Angour especially for the production\, with Barnaby Brown playing the reconstructed ancient double aulos (alongside splendid Victorian choral music from the 1887 Oxford “Alcestis” by C H Lloyd\, a pupil of Parry).”

SUMMARY:Cultural interaction in Europe in the period of classical antiquity
DESCRIPTION:1:30 pm to 2:30 pm\, 07 June 2019\n\n \n\nLinked to the anniversary of the introduction of the Euro\, which symbolizes a further stage in the ‘European project’\, this talk will discuss cultural interactions in ancient Europe\, especially between Greece and Rome in the classical period.\n\n \n\nIt will explore the situation that the first ‘Roman’ poets\, who were not Roman nationals\, adopted elements of Greek literature and transformed them into something that was comprehensible\, relevant and interesting to a Roman audience\, and then consider how Roman literature and culture was spread over most of Europe with the expansion of the Roman empire. This will provide the basis for some reflection on the extent to which these developments in the ancient world can be illuminating for the present when the concept of ‘Europe’ is much discussed.\n\n \n\nGesine Manuwald is Professor of Latin and currently Head of UCL’s Department of Greek and Latin. Teaching of Classics began at UCL in 1828\, and the department offers a variety of interdisciplinary Undergraduate and Graduate degree programmes in classical literature\, culture and history.\n\n \n\nFurther information: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/festival-of-culture/events/2019/jun/cultural-interaction-europe-period-classical-antiquity

From the causes of the war (divine displeasure) to its complex aftermath\, this show encompasses some of the greatest poetry ever written: The Iliad\, The Odyssey\, The Oresteia\, The Trojan Women and much more.

DESCRIPTION:Thursday 30 May 2019\, 1 pm at Barnard’s Inn Hall\, London \nAristotle’s Lyceum https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/aristotle-lyceum \nIn the 330s BCE\, the great philosopher and scientist\, Aristotle of Stagira in northern Greece\, returned to Athens and founded his Lyceum. The first institution in world history to encompass teaching\, research and the collection of a vast library\, the Lyceum immediately began to revive even Plato’s Academy in international reputation. This lecture looks at the archaeological site of the Lyceum\, discovered accidentally in 1996\, and asks how the remains can illuminate Aristotle’s life\, work\, and incomparable contribution across academic disciplines\, from Political Theory and Aesthetics to Zoology\, Physics and Astronomy.

SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:Lecture Theatre\, Oxford High School\, Belbroughton Road\, Oxford OX2 6XA\, main telephone: 01865 559888 \n  \n Wednesday 13th March 2019\n4:30 – 6.00pm \n \n\n \n\nProfessor Matthew Nicholls is a specialist in the political and social history of the Romans and the way that the built environments of Rome and cities around the Roman Empire expressed their values and priorities. His talk will introduce students to his innovative and award-winning virtual 3D model of Ancient Rome.\n\n \n\nThis model makes ancient Rome accessible to thousands of pupils and students by virtually recreating the city\, including vast public buildings such as the Colosseum. This digital model of ancient Rome has proved to be an incredible teaching tool and has won the Guardian and Higher Academy National Teaching Excellence Award in 2014. How creative is the process of a 3D reconstruction of an ancient city? How can one start making their own digital models of the ancient world? Can 3D reconstruction prompt us to ask questions about the sources that inform our understanding of ancient Rome?\n\n \n\nThe talk will be followed by a Question and Answer session and it will be of direct relevance to anyone studying a Classical subject in years 9-13 and\, of course\, to anyone who is interested in Classics\, History\, Archaeology and/or Computer Science.\n\n \n\nThere is no charge for this event. Students under 16 should be accompanied by their teacher but sixth formers are welcome to join us independently. To book your place please email Dr Niki Karapanagioti at n.karapanagioti@oxf.gdst.net with a list of names as soon as possible and at the latest by Friday 8th March.

SUMMARY:Reading Classical Latin: Cicero and Ovid
DESCRIPTION:A weekend course by the Institute of Continuing Education\, Cambridge University. \nCicero was Rome’s leading orator and this weekend you have the opportunity to read one of his superbly moulded speeches: in Pro Caelio\, Cicero defends young Marcus Caelius Rufus on charges of political violence. This is no dry legal speech\, but one in which Cicero uses his acerbic rhetoric to attack his client’s lover\, Clodia – painting a vivid picture of the violent times of the Roman Republic. If you prefer myth to the reality of the court room\, then choose to read Book 3 of Ovid’s Metamorphoses\, where you will encounter mad dogs\, a fiery thunderbolt and a boy falling in love with…his own reflection. There is never a dull moment in Ovid’s witty re-writing of Greek myth. Whichever text you choose\, there will be plenty of friendly discussion as we wrestle together with the power of the Latin language. \nFurther Information
