SUMMARY:Bacchae at the Oxford Playhouse\, this October
DESCRIPTION:“The god Dionysos has come to the city of Thebes\, where Pentheus rules with cool composure. The young king seeks to ban all worship of his cousin Dionysos\, whom he insists is a fake divinity. Little does he know: the god is watching his every move. Dionysos turns the women of the city mad\, and plays cat and mouse with Pentheus. Things are about to change. \nEuripides’ Bacchae\, performed and translated ceaselessly since its first production in the 5th century BCE\, tells a story of divine revenge. This version\, performed in the original Ancient Greek (with English subtitles) explores the boundaries between masculine and feminine\, individual and community\, human and divine.” \nFURTHER INFORMATION \n

SUMMARY:Latin and Greek language training: A free 1.5 day course for secondary teachers
DESCRIPTION:  \nLatin and Greek language training\nA free 1.5 day course for secondary teachers \n2.00 – 5.00pm on Friday 20th October\n9.00am – 5.00pm on Saturday 21st October \nHosted by Harrow School \nClassics for All\, a national charity which works to widen access to classical subjects\, is delighted to be working in partnership with Harrow School to support the teaching and learning of Classics. \nBy offering funding and support\, Classics for All helps UK state primary and secondary schools to introduce or develop the teaching of classical subjects (Latin\, Ancient Greek\, Classical Civilisation and Ancient History) using flexible and innovative curricular or extra-curricular models. \nAs a result of our Harrow partnership\, we are able to offer secondary teachers the opportunity to benefit from free language training in Latin or Greek. 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.

SUMMARY:Women in the Aeneid
DESCRIPTION:Roman Baths\n \nVirgil’s great epic presents a rich variety of female characters. 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. We look at what these women bring to the story\, and consider the wider picture of women within ancient Roman society. This course is not for complete beginners to Latin: you will read and hear lines from the poem. Longer passages will be read in translation. \nFurther Information

SUMMARY:'A Cicerone to Cicero: Robert Harris in conversation': Classics for All Annual Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Time to book your place at CfA’s annual lecture… \nMaster storyteller Robert Harris has written ‘the finest fictional treatment of Ancient Rome in the English language.’ (Allan Massie\, Scotsman). Given he is not a classical scholar\, how did he come to write these books? Does he consider them to be allegories of current events? What is the difference between fiction and historical fiction? 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

SUMMARY:'MEDEA: WRITTEN IN RAGE' at the Birmingham Rep
DESCRIPTION:MEDEA: WRITTEN IN RAGE\n\n17 – 18 November\nBy Jean René Lemoine\nDirected and translated by Neil Bartlett\n\n\n\n\nThe stage is set for a gig – a microphone\, a bank of speakers and smoke hanging in the air. 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.

SUMMARY:Professor Edith Hall on Homer\, Sappho and Aesop
DESCRIPTION:2017-18 Free Public Classics Lectures \nProfessor Edith Hall on Homer\, Sappho and Aesop \n  \nGresham College\, London’s oldest Higher Education Institution\, is delighted to announce a series by Visiting Professor in Classics Edith Hall. \nFew academic subjects have influenced the history of the world as much as ancient Greek history and culture\, yet today few people enjoy opportunities to study this important area. This series of lectures by Professor Edith Hall (King’s College London) will cover ancient Greek history by means of looking at depictions of key events and themes in film\, opera and the arts \n1)     Homer’s Iliad via the MovieTroy (2004) Thursday 23 November 2017 1 pm at Barnard’s Inn Hall \nHomer’s Iliad\, the earliest Greek poem\, narrates the archetypal war between ‘Europeans’ and ‘Asiatics’ divided by the Hellespont. Beginning with Wolfgang Peterson’s blockbuster Troy (2004)\, the lecture describes the genesis of the Iliad  between the Mycenaean Late Bronze Age and the 8th century\, when it was first written down with the aid of the new\, phonetic script adapted from the Phoenician civilisation of the Levant. It explores the poem’s plot\, tragic perspective on the human condition\, and the despair caused by untimely death on an immense scale. \n2)     The Age of Tyrants: Sappho via Gounod’s Opera 18 January 2018 1 pm at Barnard’s Inn Hall \nThe heroine of Charles Gounod’s French opera Sapho (1851) sings her last aria O My Immortal Lyre on a Greek cliff before plunging to her death. Sappho\, the most famous poet of the ‘Lyric Age’ of Greece\, in the 7th to 6th centuries BC\, addressed passionate love poems to women. This lecture uncovers what we know about the ‘real Sappho’\, an aristocrat who lived between 630 and 570 BCE on the island of Lesbos and socialised in the lavish courts of parvenu tyrants. But this historical context in no way diminishes her songs’ astonishing immediacy and erotic power. \n1)     Slave Stories: Aesop and Walter Crane Thursday 8 March 2018 1 pm at Barnard’s Inn Hall \nIn 1887 the influential arts-and-crafts book illustrator Walter Crane published The Baby’s Own Aesop\, bringing the homespun wisdom of ancient Greek peasants to a new generation of children. This lecture uses these fables to tackle the least attractive feature of ancient Greece – institutionalised slavery. Beneath the semi-legendary figure of Aesop himself\, a barbarian sold to a Greek slave-owner in the 6th century BCE\, lie tens of thousands of his real-life equivalents. The lecture asks how the ancient fables address power relations in a slave society. Were they primarily stories for and by slaves\, or did they serve ruling-class interests? \nNotes to Editors: further information and photographs from Lucia Graves in the press office: 020 7831 0575 or l.graves@gresham.ac.uk.   \n1)     About Professor Edith Hall \nHall is Professor in the Classics Department and Centre for Hellenic Studies at King’s College London. Her specialism is ancient Greek literature\, but she enjoys putting the pleasure as well as the rigour into all aspects of ancient Greek and Roman history\, society\, and thought. \nShe has published more than twenty books\, broadcasts frequently on radio and television\, works as consultant with professional theatres\, lectures all over the world\, and publishes widely in academic and mainstream journals and newspapers. She is a world leader in the study of ethnicity\, class and gender in ancient sources\, of ancient theatre\, and of the continuing instrumentality of ancient ideas–especially those of Arisotle–in world culture since the Renaissance. \nShe has held posts at Cambridge\, Oxford\, Durham\, Reading and Royal Holloway\, and visiting positions at Notre Dame\, Swarthmore\, Northwestern\, Leiden\, and Erfurt. \n2)     About Gresham College \nThe College fills lecture halls for its four or so free public lectures every week amounting to around 130 a year. All Gresham lectures are made available online after the event. \nA series of six lectures a year is delivered by each of our ten Professors. These are augmented by a number of Visiting Professors and as many as 40 individual lectures from a range of illustrious speakers selected from the worlds of academia\, politics and industry. \nGresham College is an independent institution funded from the estate of our founder\, Sir Thomas Gresham. After his death in 1579\, Sir Thomas’ estate and control of his benefaction was left to the City of London Corporation and the Worshipful Company of Mercers\, which operate through the Joint Grand Gresham Committee to support the College.

SUMMARY:Dr Victoria Moul to talk on Latin and English poetry in the 17th century at St Paul's Girls' School
DESCRIPTION:On Monday 27th November at 4.30 pm\, Dr Victoria Moul\, Senior Lecturer in Latin Language and Literature at King’s College\, London will be speaking on: \n‘Latin and English poetry in the 17th century’ \nDr Moul will talk about the bilingualism of literary culture in this period – the extent to which poetry was being written as well as read in both Latin and English throughout the 17th century\, and the importance of an appreciation of Latin literary culture for any full understanding of English poetry throughout this period. She will look in particular at why and how people chose to write in Latin or English\, and the ways in which translation and imitation from one language to another shaped poetry in both. \nThe talk will be of direct relevance to anyone interested in classical reception (especially of Latin poetry); 17th century literature (especially Shakespeare\, Herbert\, Milton); or 17th century British history (especially the period of the civil war\, Protectorate and Restoration). \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 Jessamy Reynolds at Jessamy.Reynolds@spgs.org with a list of names as soon as possible and at the latest by Friday 24th November. Please note that we are now required to compile a list of names of those attending in advance.

SUMMARY:Euripides' 'Electra' at the Usher Hall\, Edinburgh
DESCRIPTION:1st and 2nd December \nRevenge – is it a religious duty? a family obligation? Or just a crime? Euripides’ Electra explores our ancient yet essentially human desire for revenge. Orestes and Electra have lost their father\, king Agamemnon – hero of the Greek war against Troy. He survived the war\, and the dangerous voyage home\, only to be brutally murdered by his wife and her lover\, who is now the king. Electra has been banished from the palace and humiliated\, and the whereabouts of Orestes – who was smuggled away as a baby to save his life – is unknown. Will he return home – and will the young people have the nerve to go through with their planned revenge – even if it means killing their mother? \nFor more information and to book: CLICK. \n
