SUMMARY:Oxford Greek Play
DESCRIPTION:From the folks at The Oxford Greek Play…\n\n \n\nWe are excited to announce that tickets for this year’s Oxford Greek Play are now available to reserve via the Oxford Playhouse website! Orestes will be performed online on 28th April at 5pm.\n\n \n\n‘From a certain point onward there is no longer any turning back…’\n\n \n\nIt has been six days since the murder. Six days since Electra watched her estranged brother Orestes kill their mother in a brutal act of revenge. Now Electra\, Orestes and his lover Pylades have to figure out what to do next. In the wake of the Trojan war the next generation must navigate catastrophe\, face their inherited trauma\, and try to survive against the odds. But as society collapses\, can they trust the whispers of Helen\, Menelaus and the gods?\n\n \n\nOxford’s Greek play tradition goes back 140 years\, and this April we are bringing you an experimental reimagining of Euripides’ little-known classic Orestes. Join us for an entirely virtual production\, combining ancient Greek and new translations with contemporary dance\, live comedy and an original soundtrack. Orestes has been devised at a distance for its online platform\, and is being streamed live for one night only. Four world-leading specialists will be there to ask the important questions\, as we invite you to decide the fates of these heroes and villains of Greek mythology.\n\n \n\nTo reserve your free ticket\, follow this link: https://www.oxfordplayhouse.com/…/all…/orestes/13815…\n\n \n\nFollow us at @orestesoxford on Instagram\, Facebook\, Twitter and TikTok\, for a peek behind the scenes and to get to know the cast and creatives behind the production.

SUMMARY:Classics for All\, Historically
DESCRIPTION:Classics for All\, Historically\nwith Professor Edith Hall\, hosted by Professor Paul Cartledge.\n\n \n\nWednesday 12 May | 18:00 BST\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\nWe are delighted to be joined by Professor Edith Hall who will discuss her recent book\, A People’s History of Classics\, co-written with Henry Stead. Exploring the influence of the classical past on the lives of working-class people\, Edith will challenge the prevailing assumption that working-class culture was a ‘Classics-Free Zone’ and outline some of struggles that non-elite Britons went through to access the ancient Greeks and Romans between the Bill of Rights in 1689 and the outbreak of World War II in 1939. With vivid examples of those who succeeded\, Edith will demonstrate that classics\, historically\, was for all.\n\n \n\nThis event will be chaired by Professor Paul Cartledge\, A. G. Leventis Professor of Greek Culture at Cambridge University.\n\n \n\nTickets (£10 standard\, £5 concession) are available to purchase here.

SUMMARY:Prof Genevieve Liveley (Bristol): 'Homer's AI'.
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday 12th May 2021\, 7pm – Dr Genevieve Liveley (Bristol) \n\n\n\n‘Homer’s AI’. \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Professor Liveley asks: What is the legacy of Homer’s intelligent machines? Beginning with Homer’s descriptions of relatively simple automata in the Iliad and Odyssey\, this talk goes on to consider the more sophisticated models of artificial mind and machine cognition that these ancient poems describe\, including various distinctions that Homer draws between artificial and human minds. After tracing this ancient narrative history of artificial intelligence\, Dr Liveley examines its impact on contemporary debate about the nature of AI. \n\n\n\nIf you would like to attend this webinar\, please contact Richard Cole (richard.cole@bristol.ac.uk) for the link.

SUMMARY:'Virgil's Camilla\, Warrior Queen'
DESCRIPTION:Online Lecture by Dr Sharon Marshall\, University of Exeter\n \nTuesday 18 May at 5.00pm (Online Lecture).\n \n\nAt the end of Virgil’s catalogue of Italian allies in Book Seven of the Aeneid comes the warrior woman Camilla\, an extraordinary woman\, inured to battle and swift enough to race the winds. When war breaks out again between the Latins and Trojans later in Book Eleven\, Camilla proves to be the fiercest of warriors\, volunteering to confront the enemy and tragically dying when caught off guard. Camilla is a figure who has provoked fierce critical debate\, with scholars divided over where we should look to find Virgil’s influences for the Camilla episode\, whether she successfully subverts gender norms or ultimately reinforces them\, and how the episode resonates with the politics of the poem as a whole. In this lecture\, Dr Marshall will suggest that the tendency towards antithetical readings of the Camilla episode are the result of a tension inscribed in the poem itself\, from the very first book and\, in particular\, the image of another of Virgil’s warrior women\, Penthesilea\, the Queen of the Amazons. Questions and discussion will be welcome.\n\n \n\nThis lecture will be held on Teams and it promises to be both informative and thought-provoking. It will be of relevance to all those with an interest in classics\, literature\, myth and/or ancient history. There is no charge for attending the talk.\n\n \nemail: lsfclassics@lsf.org for details.

SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:Classical Association Teaching Board/Classics for All/British School at Athens CPD on Ancient Athenian Inscriptions in UK Collections\, 10am-4pm BST\, 5th June 2021 (virtual event)  \nAmong the most enduring habits of the ancient world was the inscription of public and private documents and accounts on stone and other hard surfaces. From ancient Athens alone there survive some 20\,000 inscriptions written on stone; they are deeply informative about all aspects of ancient public and private life\, culture\, society\, politics and diplomacy. \nOf the extant ancient Athenian inscriptions\, a small but significant number (ca. 225) are to be found in a dozen public and private collections across the UK. The AHRC-sponsored Attic Inscriptions in UK Collections project\, hosted on the Attic Inscriptions Online website\, is developing editions\, translations and notes on all of these inscriptions. Our Youtube channel is developing a series of videos aimed at a wide audience interested in the inscriptions of ancient Athens. \nIn mid 2021 we will launch the Attic Inscriptions: Education (AIE) part of our website. This will bring together resources based on our research designed to support teachers of classical subjects at all pre-18 levels. These resources are designed to be of relevance to the KS 1 and KS 2 national curriculum\, to be of interest to those teaching KS 3 and to address aspects of the specifications for GCSE and A-level Classical Civilisation and Ancient History. We hope also that we will be able to identify specific areas of ancient Greek history and culture that could be better addressed (through ancient Athenian inscriptions) in future versions of these specifications. \nThis CPD event will support the launch of AIE. It is aimed at schoolteachers of any of the Key Stages\, though we understand that participants may not find all the sessions immediately relevant. No prior experience of studying inscriptions or knowledge of Greek is required (though we welcome those who are interested in exploring the possibility of using Athenian inscriptions to teach Greek language). \nWe envisage offering 8 sessions from 10.30 am to 12.30 pm then 2.00 pm to 4.00 pm. Each session will consist of a conversation\, with guest discussants (guests including Charlie Andrew (Classics for All)\, Dr Sharon Marshall (University of Exeter)\, Dr April Pudsey (Manchester Metropolitan University)\, Rob Hancock-Jones (Tonbridge School)\, Liam Holian (Weaverham High School)\, Sophie Evans (Pimlico Academy))\, on the potential that ancient Athenian inscriptions have for current and future syllabi and specifications: \n\nA Beginners’ Guide to using Ancient Athenian Inscriptions in the Classroom (plenary session). 25 mins lecture.\nKS 1 and KS 2 Literacy\, History and Art and ancient Athenian inscriptions (with Charlie Andrews of Classics for All). Conversation 15 mins + discussion 10 mins.\nGCSE Ancient History specifications (Athens in the Age of Pericles) and ancient Athenian inscriptions. Conversation 15 mins + discussion 10 mins.\nGCSE Classical Civilisation specifications (Myth and Religion; Women; War and Warfare) and ancient Athenian inscriptions. Conversation 15 mins + discussion 10 mins.\nA-level Ancient History specifications (depth study in Culture and Politics of Ancient Athens; period study on Relations between Greek states) and ancient Athenian inscriptions. Conversation 15 mins + discussion 10 mins.\nA-level Classical Civilisation specifications (World of Heroes; Culture and the Arts; Invention of the Barbarian; Greek Religion) and ancient Athenian inscriptions. Conversation 15 mins + discussion 10 mins.\nAncient Athenian Inscriptions and pre-18 education generally (KS 3; ancient numeracy\, the history of medicine\, the history of collection). Conversation 15 mins + discussion 10 mins.\nPlenary discussion of teaching Ancient Athenian Inscriptions in the Classroom. Conclusions. 25 mins.\n\nLunch break 12.30 – 2.00 pm after session 4.   \n  \nRegistration fee: £5. \nTo register for the event\, please see our Eventbrite site: \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ancient-athenian-inscriptions-in-uk-collections-classical-association-cpd-tickets-142573805089 \nFor questions\, please contact peter.liddel@manchester.ac.uk

SUMMARY:Remembering and Forgetting the Past: Athens in 403 BC
DESCRIPTION:Remembering and Forgetting the Past: Athens in 403 BC\n\n \n\nA Classics for All Lawyers Group event with Professor Michael Scott\n\n \n\nTuesday 8 June | 18:00 BST\n\n \n\nIn 403 BC\, Athens re-established itself as a democracy\, after a brief coup by the 30 Tyrants. The problem that now faced them was this: how to recognise this period in their history as a warning for the future without making too obvious the fact that Athens’ fabled democracy had failed and almost died. How to remember and forget the past\, as well as the deeds of the individual citizens – some who had supported oligarchy and some democracy – who now once again had to live cheek by jowl with one another. Their answer was a mix of civic decree\, legal reform and sophistic rhetoric\, with far reaching consequences for the nature of their democracy over the following century.\n\n \n\nThis event is the latest in our series of 2021 Lawyers Group events\, hosted by Sir Rupert Jackson\, Chair of our Lawyers Group Steering Committee. One fortuitous result of moving our Lawyers Group events online is that we are also able to offer a number of tickets to the public.\n\n \n\nTickets (£20 standard\, £10 concession) are available to purchase here. \n\n \n\nAnyone who buys a ticket and is unable to attend on the night will be sent a link to the video recording the following day. If you have any questions about this event\, please contact events@classicsforall.org.uk.

SUMMARY:King’s Greek Play 2021
DESCRIPTION:Save the date: 28 and 29 June\, 2021\n\n \n\nAfter the success of 2020’s experimental Dionysus in the Underworld\, performed only a few weeks before the UK went into national lockdown\, the King’s Greek Play 2021 will be a little different. Students from across the college will create an entirely new play\, mostly in English\, which draws on extant and fragmentary Greek tragedy. Led by Dr David Bullen and Professor Edith Hall\, the project explores how the Trojan War cycle speaks to present concerns about responsibility\, sacrifice\, and intergenerational tension. Young adults both west and east suffer acute isolation and despair caused by their irresponsible parents’ abuse\, neglect\, and endless international disputes. Is this the 21st century or the Bronze Age? The group has drawn on texts with lonely young adults at their heart\, including Euripides’ Iphigenia in Aulis and Orestes\, Sophocles’ Philoctetes\, and Aeschylus’ now fragmentary trilogy about the central figure of Homer’s Iliad\, Achilles.‘\n\n \n\nLike the phoenix rising from the ashes\, the Annual King’s Greek Play reinvents itself yet again\, with a bold new online production\, combining highlights from extant and fragmentary Greek tragedies to provide a brand-new play about the Trojan War. The King’s Greek Play once again fashions something radically new out of some of the world’s oldest tales.’ (Dr Daniel Orrells\, Head of Department of Classics\, King’s College London)\n\n \n\nThis year’s performance will be online rather than live. Further communications will follow with information about how to book.\n\n \nFURTHER INFORMATION

SUMMARY:UCL Summer School in Ancient Philosophy 2021
DESCRIPTION:Monday 12 July to Friday 16 July 2021\n\n \n\nWhat are the origins of the world? How can we achieve happiness? What is the best form of government? Is democracy good? These are only some of the questions which ancient philosophers tried to answer more than 2\,500 years ago. Their bold and unprecedented enterprise prompted an intellectual revolution\, the relevance of which has not since faded. The Summer School in Ancient Philosophy aims to follow the steps of the ancient philosophers in their enquiries on the world and human life\, and explore their continuing importance today.\n\nThe Summer School offers a five-day programme covering the major themes and thinkers of Ancient Philosophy. There will be four classes each day\, between 10:30 am. and 3.30pm. Given the online setting of the course\, times may be subject to modifications which will be communicated in advance. Students will have access to a variety of online material before and throughout the course. The fee is £130. The course is not residential. Bursaries may be available for certain categories of students.\n\nStudents will be assigned to teaching groups of normally not more than 15-20 people. Groups will comprise students with similar levels of knowledge of the subject. Classes will consist of lectures\, close reading of texts\, and debates and will touch on a variety of themes\, including ethics\, metaphysics\, and theories of knowledge. Texts will be studied in translation\, though some classes will be offered in the original language. The style of teaching is friendly\, but demanding. Students are expected to actively participate in classes\, and they will be invited to discuss and critically engage with texts along with other students and teachers. Our tutors include some of the most talented and passionate teachers of ancient philosophy in the London area and beyond.\n\n \nFURTHER INFORMATION

SUMMARY:JACT Latin Summer School – Monday 19th to Saturday 31st July\, 2021
DESCRIPTION:I am delighted to announce that we are now open for applications to join us this Summer. Please visit www.latincamp.co.uk for full details and simple online application. The usual minimum age is post-Y10 but we will consider post-Y9 students if they have studied Latin for at least three years or wish to join the beginners’ group. After 18 summers at Wells Cathedral School\, we will be relocating to Harrogate Ladies’ College for 2021; may I stress that the location is the ONLY change – in every other way we intend what we offer and deliver to our students to be identical. Harrogate is better for U18 students particularly – just as safe with a lot more shops\, cinema\, theatre\, museums etc. and plenty of nice places for the adults to visit in the evening. York should be good for a day trip and Hadrian’s Wall is a fantastic addition to our repertoire for the middle weekend.\n\n \n\nwww.latincamp.co.uk (our own site) has full details on all our different courses suitable for school students and how we feel each age group will benefit. It also contains details on such things as our costs\, our tutors (who come almost entirely from teaching backgrounds and highly regarded UK schools)\, the facilities and accommodation\, our typical programme of events\, our policy on U18 students and hopefully a feel for “Camp life” generally. It also has a very simple online application form which is now live.\n\n \n\nWe were delighted with the success of the remote affair of Summer 2020 – students and staff alike made the very best of it – but it was not a patch on what the live version can deliver. The classes\, grammar clinics and talks can be effectively replicated remotely but that’s about it – so much learning happens in all the “in-between” moments\, be they in small groups between lessons sat out in the sun\, or at night in the boarding houses. That said\, Latin Camp is about so much more than just reading Latin. It’s about the camaraderie of meeting like-minded people. It’s about bonding in the houses. It’s about witnessing the interaction of staff\, students and speakers. It’s about the joy of the Hellenic Bookservice visiting and setting up their shop just for us. It’s about the quiz\, the site visits\, the staff play\, the costume party. It’s about discovering\, identifying with and joining a wider community of classicists\, making contacts and friends for life.\n\n \n\nWe intend to be live once again for all of these reasons. (Non-resident students will be welcome as before.) In the event of this still being impossible due to Covid we will revert to a remote version once again (price tbc but below 50% of the live course fee) and people will have the option to either switch to this or withdraw altogether with a full refund. There are no current plans to run live and remote concurrently but this will be reviewed when we have a better idea of numbers. So if you know someone who is sure they would not be able to join us live but would be interested in a remote option\, please have them send me an email to contact them on in due course should this become available.\n\n \n\nPlease do email me on d.stephenson@warwickschool.org if you have any questions after looking at the website.

SUMMARY:London Summer School in Classics 2021
DESCRIPTION:NB This year the London Summer School in Classics will be held ONLINE ONLY\n\n \n\nAPPLICATIONS OPEN ON 1 JANUARY 2021\n\n \n\nDownload the Application Form in [WORD] [PDF]\n\n \n\n 	The Summer School offers eight days of intensive teaching in Greek or Latin. We will also be offering Beginners’ classes in Biblical Hebrew\, Sanskrit and Coptic\, and Advanced classes in New Testament/Koine Greek\, and Biblical Hebrew (all subject to demand).\n 	There are four language classes each day\, as well as lectures and epigraphy workshops\, between 10:30 and 16:30.\n 	There is no teaching during the weekend.\n 	Please note you may only study one language at the Summer School.\n 	For general enquiries please email the Classics Summer School. NB there is no phone number linked to the Summer School. Please use the email provided.\n\n \n\nTeaching is generally in groups of 12-15\, which\, as far as possible\, comprise students of roughly the same level of experience (beginners\, intermediate or advanced). The style of teaching is friendly\, but demanding: a lot of work is expected from students during the School\, but they usually find the whole experience both stimulating and valuable. Some classes concentrate chiefly on reading texts\, while others offer a mixture of grammar and translation practice. Their tutors include some of the most experienced and talented teachers of Classics in the London area and beyond.\n\n \n\nThe Summer School in Classics caters for school and university students\, and for anyone else who wishes to learn Greek or Latin\, or to revive their knowledge of the languages. Previous participants have included: students with no prior knowledge of the languages; pre-GCSE/GCSE and A-Level students; university students; mature applicants who wish to expand their linguistic knowledge. Their principal concern is to provide a thorough programme of language learning in a lively university environment.\n\n \nFURTHER INFORMATION
