Who was Proserpina? Or Phaeton? Or Niobe? What happened to Daedalus and Icarus? Why was Philomel turned into a nightingale\, or Actaeon into a stag\, or Daphne into an olive tree? Why did the King of the Gods transform himself into a Bull\, a Swan\, or a shower of gold? This performance will reveal all. Ovid was Shakespeare’s favourite classical poet\, and one of his greatest influences. Indeed a contemporary account suggests that “the witty soul of Ovid lives in mellifluous and honey-tongued Shakespeare”. \nTickets £20 adults/£15 concessions \nFURTHER INFORMATION \n\n  \n  URL:https://www.theclassicslibrary.com/event/rsc-tales-ovid-ted-hughes/ LOCATION:Swan Theatre\, Waterside\, Stratford-upon-Avon\, CV37 7LS\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.theclassicslibrary.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/rsc-ovid.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20171009T173000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20171009T183000 DTSTAMP:20260428T225021 CREATED:20170915T180209Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170915T180610Z UID:42750-1507570200-1507573800@www.theclassicslibrary.com SUMMARY:'Oracles - but what else?

Themes of obsessive love\, desperation and motherhood will be tested in the intimate\, brand new space of The Gallery on The Corner in Tooting Bec. \nWith a raw\, contemporary text by Wendy Haines and an all-female cast\, By Jove will continue their signature provocative and original work adapting myth that challenges the assumptions we make about women and their actions.

Abandoned by her husband for another woman and left with the prospect of destitution\, Medea drives herself to a shocking act of violence. \nTickets for Wednesday 11th 2pm preview performance here. \nThe bar will open 1 hour before the show (CASH ONLY). \nThere will be a post-show discussion on Thursday October 12th.” URL:https://www.theclassicslibrary.com/event/medea-jove-theatre-company/ LOCATION:The Gallery on the Corner\, 273 Balham High Road\, London\, SW17 7BD\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.theclassicslibrary.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/medea-by-jove.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20171011T153000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20171011T170000 DTSTAMP:20260428T225021 CREATED:20171002T124106Z LAST-MODIFIED:20171002T124106Z UID:42930-1507735800-1507741200@www.theclassicslibrary.com SUMMARY:Bijan Omrani to talk on Caesar in Gaul DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday 11th October at 4.30 pm\, Mr Bijan Omrani will be speaking on: \nThe conquest of Gaul: how Caesar changed Europe \nIn the 50s BC\, Julius Caesar conducted a blood-soaked sequence of campaigns against the tribes of ancient Gaul. On the pretext of curbing an imminent barbarian threat to the Roman Republic\, he subjugated the Celtic peoples who occupied the territory of what is now France. Caesar laid Gallic civilisation to waste\, but within half a century of the conquest the Romans had begun to remake Gaul in their own image. Mr Omrani’s talk looks not only at what drew the Romans to invade\, but how they changed Gaul over 500 years of occupation\, and laid the foundations for the modern European civilisation to come. \nMr Omrani has taught classics at Eton and Westminster\, and is the author of several books. He read Classics and English at Lincoln College\, Oxford\, before going on to write and research on the history of Afghanistan\, the Silk Road and Central Asia\, as well as Roman history and the development of Greek thought. His latest book is Caesar’s Footprints: Journeys to Roman Gaul (2017). \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.

This new CPD course will run at the start of the October 2017 half-term and there will be separate groups for Greek (beginners) and Latin (beginners and intermediate). \nThe training course is open to all teachers in state secondary schools in England or Wales. Whether you are interested in introducing Latin or Ancient Greek into your school for the first time\, or whether you would like to consolidate your own linguistic understanding to support what you currently teach\, we hope that this course will prove invaluable. \n \n  \nCourse content \nWe will provide tuition for both Greek and Latin\, subject to demand. \nWe anticipate that the Greek class will be aimed at those who are new to teaching Greek. Prior knowledge of the alphabet will be expected but the course will focus on the basic elements of grammar. The main course text used will be John Taylor’s Greek to GCSE Part 1. \nTwo groups will be offered for Latin. The beginners’ group will be open to those who are new to Latin and will roughly cover the content of the Cambridge Latin Course Book 1. The intermediate group will be aimed at those who already have a basic knowledge of the Latin grammar covered in Book 1 of the Cambridge Latin Course. The course will focus on new grammar points introduced in Books 2-3 and there may also be time to discuss approaches to studying literature set texts at GCSE. \nHaving said this\, we are keen to ensure that these courses are as beneficial as possible to those who attend and therefore we will tailor the exact structure and content of each class in response to need. The details above are just intended as a guide so we would appreciate it if you could provide us with as much detail as possible about your own training needs when filling in the online survey: http://bit.ly/languageCPD. \nThe sessions will be led by a subject specialist from Harrow School and by experienced trainers from Classics for All. Group sizes will be kept small to allow for maximum progress. \n  \nPractical details \nDay 1: Friday 20th October \n\nSmall group language tuition from 2-5pm\nDinner (optional\, for those staying in the area)\n\nDay 2: Saturday 21st October \n\nSmall group language tuition from 9am – 5pm\nLunch and refreshments provided\n\nHarrow School can provide accommodation on Friday night for a small number of teachers who may need to travel to the course from outside London. This accommodation will be allocated on a first come\, first served basis so do get in touch ASAP if you would like to reserve a room. \nIf you are coming by car\, parking is available on site on Garlands Lane (HA1 3GF). The nearest London Underground and mainline train station is Harrow on the Hill (Metropolitan and Chiltern lines). From the station\, it is a 10 minute walk uphill to the school. Full details and a map of the school site can be found here: http://www.harrowschool.org.uk/Visitor-Information \nLunch and refreshments will be provided on Saturday 21st October. There will also be the option to stay for dinner on Friday 20th October. This course is free to attend. However\, Classics for All will not be able to cover travel costs. We hope that teachers will be able to claim back any expenses from school but please do let us know if this is going to cause any difficulties. \n  \nWhat next? \nTo register your interest for this free CPD course\, please sign up online at or email hannah@classicsforall.og.uk even if you would just like to know a little more at this stage.

Are doom-laden characters like Dido and Camilla a reminder of what happens if women step beyond cultural norms and expectations? Meet the wives\, lovers\, mothers\, queens\, goddesses\, furies and more. They are brave\, independent\, loving\, loyal\, manipulative\, morally courageous\, ruthless\, violent and vulnerable.

And what is so special about Cicero? \nJoin us for a discussion between Robert Harris and Dr Peter Jones MBE on Thursday 2 November 2017 at the Royal Society\, followed by a wine reception with canapés. You will have the opportunity after the talk to hear from a passionate Classics teacher who has introduced classical subjects into several state schools\, who will describe the difference it makes for pupils\, teachers and the schools’ communities. \nAs this is Classics for All’s annual fundraising event\, we encourage you to give an extra donation above the standard £30 ticket\, which will go towards introducing classical subjects in state schools in 2017-18. We have suggested amounts here between £50-100\, but you may also wish to visit our website where you can make a separate donation. Perhaps you would like to join our ranks of ‘Centurion’ supporters giving £100 pa (that’s only £8.33 pm) by direct debit. \nDoors will open at 6.30pm and the talk will start at 7.00pm. \nFURTHER INFORMATION \n  URL:https://www.theclassicslibrary.com/event/a-cicerone-to-cicero-robert-harris-in-conversation-classics-for-all-annual-lecture/ LOCATION:Royal Society’s Wellcome Trust Lecture Hall\, 6-9 Carlton House Terrace\, London\, SW1Y 5AG\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:events ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.theclassicslibrary.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/CFA_logo-2015-2.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20171103 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20171105 DTSTAMP:20260428T225021 CREATED:20170906T124645Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170906T124645Z UID:42607-1509750000-1509836399@www.theclassicslibrary.com SUMMARY:Latin Voices DESCRIPTION:Gloucester Cathedral\n \nA chance to get close to the heart of Latin literature with this day on Latin poetry.

A figure in an extraordinary gown emerges from the shadows. This is Medea – returned to tell us her version of events.This startling\, contemporary reimagining of the ancient Greek legend of passion and revenge casts Medea as the ultimate outsider\, a stranger in a foreign land\, filled with rage. \nHer monologue transports us from ancient Greece to modern Europe in a provocative\, blood-soaked collage of performance\, opera and sexual confession. \nFrançois Testory uses his extraordinary physicality and unique stage presence to bring to life the murderous Medea in this evocative lament which features live music by the acclaimed composer\, Phil Von. \n\n\nFor more information and how to book click here.
