SUMMARY:Adventures in Greek Language: Thessaloniki\, 4-10 September 2016
DESCRIPTION:Adventures in Greek Language: Thessaloniki\, 4-10 September 2016\nhttp://www.greekproject.co.uk \nDo you already know some Greek\, or perhaps have studied classics and would like to convert that knowledge into something you could use in a modern\, living context? Then ‘Adventures in Greek Language’ could be for you! A week-long intensive language course based in Thessaloniki\, northern Greece\, our aim is to enable learners with some basic (ancient or modern) knowledge of the language towards an ability to genuinely converse with native speakers plus reading and writing skills to match. Led by course tutor\, Elissavet Stagoni\, we’re also committed to making language-learning – as it should be – a truly fun-laden experience. \n‘Adventures in Greek Language’ comes to you auspices of the Greek Project\, an exciting new study-tour initiative coming out of the jaws of a horrible economic crisis. Each of our study tours are geared towards people who want some intellectual stimulation as part of their wider enjoyment of going on holiday. With Thessaloniki as our base\, classes will be supplemented by guided explorations of the city and its hinterland’s classical\, Byzantine\, Ottoman and Jewish past\, not to say of its fantastic gastronomic delights. If you’d like to find out more about ‘Adventures in Greek Language’ and our other study-tours go to the Greek Project http://www.greekproject.co.uk or simply contact us at info@greekproject.co.uk

SUMMARY:'Can a Roman die like Socrates?' A Talk by Michael Trapp.
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday 21st September at 4.30 pm\, Professor Michael Trapp will be speaking on: \n‘Can a Roman die like Socrates?’ \nSuicide as an act of defiance and a means of escape in the face of defeat and disgrace was a great tradition in Roman political life.  In this illustrated talk\, Professor Trapp explores how some particularly high profile Roman suicides in the late Republic and early Empire modelled their departure – or were portrayed as having done so – on the martyrdom four centuries before of the Athenian philosopher Socrates. He also asks how this piece of Roman imitation went down with subsequent generations of Greeks. \nMichael Trapp is Professor of Greek Literature and Thought at King’s College\, London. He has a particular interest in how figures from antiquity – Socrates is the richest and most provocative of all examples of this – have been re-imagined\, appropriated and represented since their own day. \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 Drama Studio. 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 Monday 19th September

SUMMARY:Teaching Classics in the Modern World: an Event for Classics Teachers
DESCRIPTION:A Bloomsbury Institute event for Classics teachers… \nThursday 6th October \nhttp://pages.bloomsbury.com/bloomsburyinstitute/classics \nEven a brief encounter with the ancient world is enough to stimulate young minds. The studying of classical subjects casts light over the cultural history of the West\, our languages\, literature and thought. \nLatin\, ancient Greek\, classical civilisation and ancient history have crossed the boundary from the ancient world to the modern\, continuing to inspire political thought\, science\, technology and engineering.  Latin in particular resonates through everyday life in botany\, medical and legal terminology. It even peppers popular culture and has become the language of fantasy literature\, film and magic\, especially familiar to readers of Harry Potter. \nWith the support of Classics for All\, we unearth and discover why classical subjects are a vital and applicable foundation for a modern education.  Author of Bloomsbury’s bestselling Starting to Teach Latin\, Steven Hunt\, joins Professor and broadcaster Edith Hall in conversation about the applicability of the ancient world\, and the nature of classroom classics in today’s schools. We invite you to join our expert panel\, purchase copies of their books\, and seek advice over drinks on how to engage young minds and to establish classics provisions in your schools. \nTime: Drinks at 6pm\, Talk 6.30-7.30pm \nPlace: Bloomsbury Publishing\, 50 Bedford Square\, Lodnon WC1B 3DP \nTickets: £8\, Teachers & Students £5

SUMMARY:Cambridge Greek Play 2016: Antigone and Lysistrata
DESCRIPTION:The Cambridge Greek Play Committee are thrilled to announce that the \n2016 Cambridge Greek Play will be a double bill of Sophocles’ ANTIGONE and Aristophanes’ LYSISTRATA. \nThe committee are excited to be welcoming back director Helen Eastman and composer Alex Silverman\, the team behind AGAMEMNON (2010) and PROMETHEUS/FROGS (2013)\, for their third consecutive Greek Play. The production will take place at the Cambridge Arts Theatre from 12th to 15th October 2016 (please note these dates are still provisional). \nBooking information and details for school groups will be available in April 2016. We anticipate that the production will be appropriate for students aged 14 and over; anyone wishing for advice on bringing a younger group should contact the producer\, Dr Chris Whitton (clw36@cam.ac.uk). \nGreek Play enthusiasts will also be pleased to hear about the launch of our new website\, www.cambridgegreekplay.com. The website includes full recordings of the 2013 productions of PROMETHEUS and FROGS\, audio recordings of the schools talks given before the performances\, and educational materials from the last 15 years of Greek plays. There are also photographs and archive materials from every Greek play going back to 1882. We hope that teachers and schools everywhere will make use of these resources – and we’d also welcome feedback on the kinds of resources we could provide in future.

SUMMARY:Dr Angus Bowie to speak on Greeks and Persians in Herodotus
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday 16th November at 4.30 pm\, Dr Angus Bowie will be speaking on: \n‘Greeks and Persians in Herodotus: some surprises’ \nThis talk will examine the portrayal of the two sides in the Persian wars. Because Herodotus wrote in Greek it is easy to read his work as very pro-Hellenic. Dr Bowie will look at passages which allow a rather different view. He will be focusing on Book 6\, which includes the current A-level set text. \nDr Bowie is Emeritus Fellow of the Queen’s College\, Oxford\, having just retired after 35 years as the Lobel Fellow in Classics. He is the author of numerous books on Greek literature\, including a commentary on Book 8 of Herodotus. \nThe talk is hosted by the St Paul’s Girls’ School Classics Society. Tea and cake will be served from 4.10 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 Monday 14th November.

SUMMARY:'From angina to rheumatism: Ancient medical terminology and practice': A Classics for All talk by Peter Jones
DESCRIPTION:Peter Jones will be giving a talk entitled ‘From angina to rheumatism: Ancient medical terminology and practice’ on Thu 10 November 2016 6.30pm. \nA Friends of Classics Memorial Lecture   \nMuch of the terminology of modern medicine derives from ancient Greek\, often via the Latin into which Roman doctors converted it\, e.g. Greek στόμαχος→Latin stomachus\, Greek καρκίνος ‘crab’→Latin cancer. This rich inheritance is fortunately not matched by any adherence to ancient medical practice\, though Greeks are credited with the invention of ‘rational’ medicine to some of whose basic principles we still adhere. \nThis talk will explore the language and practice of ancient medicine\, with many eye-opening and sometimes eye-watering examples. All Greek will be transliterated\, and (with the Latin) translated where necessary\, including that well-known Latin word git\, with its many health-giving properties. \nDr Peter Jones will deliver this talk on ‘From angina to rheumatism: Ancient medical terminology and practice’ as the first in an annual series of Friends of Classics Memorial Lectures. \nThe lectures put on by Friends of Classics were classed as seminars rather than monologues. The atmosphere was relaxed\, and interruptions\, objections and questions were welcome throughout\, indeed encouraged. Bonus points were added for stumping the speaker. The Memorial Lectures will carry on in this spirit. \nDoors will open at 6.00pm and the talk will begin at 6.30pm.  A wine and canapé reception will follow. \nFor more information and to book: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/dr-peter-jones-from-angina-to-rheumatism-ancient-medical-terminology-and-practice-tickets-26948735393  \n
