SUMMARY:19th Dorothy Buchan Memorial Lecture in Ancient History\, Leicester\, 26. Nov - Prof. Judith Mossman
DESCRIPTION:Dear all\, \nIt is now possible to register (via Eventbrite\, link below) to attend the 19th Dorothy Buchan Memorial Lecture in Ancient History\, which will be held at the University of Leicester on 26th November 2019. Our speaker will be Professor Judith Mossman (Coventry University). The lecture will take place at 5.30 p.m. on campus in Ken Edwards Building\, Lecture Theatre 2. Tea and coffee will be available in the foyer of the School of Archaeology & Ancient History Building from 4.30 p.m. \nThe event is free but please use the following link to register your interest/intention to attend: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2019-dorothy-buchan-memorial-lecture-prof-judith-mossman-tickets-78389247349. Please also indicate at the same time whether you will be joining us for tea and coffee prior to the lecture. If you are bringing a group (10+) or would like to dine with the speaker after the event (at your own expense)\, please contact the convener\, Dr Nikki Rollason via email at nkr4@le.ac.uk\, by 20th November. \nThe title of Professor Mossman’s talk is ‘At Home in Chaironeia: Domestic Detail in Plutarch’. \nAbstract: ‘Plutarch is an author whose self-representation is particularly prominent and particularly attractive. This applies to all his works\, even his biographies (especially at the start of some Lives). Part of this persona is his portrayal of his domestic setting and his home town. In works such as Table Talk\, and the Consolation to his Wife\, the family setting is important in many ways and is expressed partly through the detailed description of domestic objects and arrangements. The fact that Plutarch includes domestic detail in scenes in his biographies\, too\, including scenes of violence and death\, suggests that he was alert to the potential for pathos and the opportunities for characterisation inherent in the description of domestic life in a domestic setting.’ \nWe look forward to seeing you in November. \nBest wishes \nProf. Graham Shipley and Dr Nikki Rollason\nSchool of Archaeology and Ancient History\nUniversity of Leicester.

SUMMARY:Edith Hall Lectures at Gresham
DESCRIPTION:From Gresham….\n\n \n\nI thought your network would be interested in a series of three lectures about science in Ancient Greece by the classicist Professor Edith Hall\, who’s a visiting Professor at Gresham again this year. Hall is a superb lecturer. The lectures are first-come\, first-served\, but I should say that for anyone with schools links\, we can book some seats for school parties in the main hall.\n\n \n\nAll of our lectures are live-streamed online so you can watch them at a time and place to suit you.\n\n \n\nWith best wishes\n\n \n\nLucia Graves\n\n \n\nScience in Ancient Greece Edith Hall\, Visiting Professor of Classics https://www.gresham.ac.uk/series/science-in-ancient-greece/\n\n \n\nThursday 28 November 2019\, 1pm\, Barnard’s Inn Hall\n\n \n\nPhysics: its Birth in Greek Ionia \n\n \n\nThe study of the natural and physical world from a scientific viewpoint began in Greek cities on the western coast of Turkey around Miletus in about 600 BCE. The first scientists were known as physiologoi\, or men who discoursed about nature (physis). Each tried to put his various observations together in a way that constituted a coherent\, unified model. This lecture discusses the pioneering physical theories of Thales\, Anaximander\, Anaximenes\, Anaxagoras and Democritus.\n\n \n\nhttps://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/birth-of-physics\n\n \n\nThursday 5 March 2020\, 1pm\, Barnard’s Inn Hall\n\n \n\nEngineering: Archimedes of Syracuse\n\n \n\nIn the 3rd century BCE\, the Sicilian polymath Archimedes advanced significantly human understanding of mathematics\, geometry and astronomy. By applying his discoveries to practical problems and physical phenomena\, he became the founder of statics and hydrostatics\, demonstrating how levers work and in turn creating unprecedented war machines such as ‘Archimedes’ claw’ and ‘heat-ray’.\n\n \n\nhttps://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/archimedes\n\n \n\nThursday 28 May 2020\, 1pm\, Barnard’s Inn Hall\n\n \n\nHippocrates and Ancient Greek Medicine\n\n \n\nThe birth of rational medicine contributed to the scientific revolution which occurred amongst eastern Greek communities in the 7th-to-5th centuries BCE. Medical professionals still take the oath of the ancient Greek doctor Hippocrates of Kos\, preserved along with his medical treatises. They are a consummation of many decades of medical practice and empirical observation\, showing methods similar to the eastern Aegean natural scientists in seeking physical causes rather than supernatural explanations for natural phenomena\, whether related to geology\, weather\, disease or injury.   https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/ancient-greek-medicine

SUMMARY:Troy's eternal appeal - a lecture by Alexandra Villing
DESCRIPTION:Troy’s eternal appeal – a lecture by Alexandra Villing\n\n\n\n\nJoin Classics for All for their first event of 2020 as we celebrate our charity’s Tenth Anniversary Year!\n\n\n\n\n\nWe’ve invited the dynamic Alexandra Villing\, lead curator of the British Museum exhibition ‘Troy: Myth and Reality’\, to share the inside story about putting the exhibition together in this special Classics for All Lecture. The exhibition at the Museum runs from 21 Nov 2019 – 8 Mar 2020 so this event in mid-January is perfectly placed to whet your appetite for the exhibition\, or to deepen the experience and perhaps answer some questions if you’ve already been to see it. The talk will take place in the Anatomy Lecture Theatre at King’s College (Strand)\, and there will be an opportunity for questions and answers with the curator at the lecture or afterwards over wine and refreshments.\n\n\n\n\n\nThe story of Troy has been told for some 3000 years. Ever since the story was given epic shape in Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey around the 8th century BC\, audiences have been enthralled by the great war between Greeks and Trojans\, right up to its retelling in Hollywood film.\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat is the eternal appeal of this ancient story and that of its cast of characters\, from Achilles and Odysseus to Helen and Cassandra? What did it mean to ancient Greeks and Romans\, and what does it mean to global audiences today? Exploring what it is that fascinates us about the legendary city of Troy\, the lecture gives a glimpse of the thinking behind the British Museum’s BP exhibition Troy: Myth and Reality\, the first major exhibition on Troy in the UK for over 140 years.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr Alexandra Villing is an archaeologist and curator of the Greek collections in the British Museum’s Department of Greece and Rome and lead curator of the British Museum exhibition ‘Troy: Myth and Reality’. She previously co-curated the international touring exhibition ‘Fantastic Creatures’ (2011/12). Her research centres on the interaction between Greece and neighbouring cultures in the first millennium BC. She has excavated in Israel (Tel Kabri) and Turkey (Miletos; Knidos) and currently directs a major research and fieldwork project on the Egyptian-Greek trading port of Naukratis in Egypt. Her publications include Classical Athens (2005)\, Naukratis: Greeks in Egypt (2013–2019)\, and the co-edited volumes Athena in the Classical World (2001) and Ceramics\, Cuisine and Culture(2015).\n\n\n\n\n\nFollowing Alexandra Villing’s talk and a Q&A\, a teacher will give a short talk on how Classics for All has supported them and the impact of classics in their state school.\n\n\n\n\n\nIf you have any queries\, please contact us at Classics for All (events@classicsforall.org.uk; 0207 848 4741)

SUMMARY:UCL Classics Play 2020: Aristophanes' Frogs
DESCRIPTION:12th-14th February 2020 \n \n\nIdealistic thoughts of good peace terms? General critiques of political policy? Citizens rejecting the leadership to whom it now follows? Nearly 2\,500 years later and still the political themes present in Aristophanes’ Frogs are of great pertinence to us today. Yet\, with our millennial majority rapidly transforming society\, is the ‘new’ directing us towards a Utopia of tomorrow\, or once again leading us astray from a clear and direct path to success?\n\n \n\nSet within the backdrop of the artistic and social movement of Futurism\, UCL’s 2020 Dionysus and Xanthius will be endeavouring to save their empty and artless world with the retrieval of a newer and younger rap artist Eu-RIP-ides. Yet after the parties\, obscenities and confusion of identities\, is it the new or old ways that are left for terminal decline?\n\n \n\nThere will be a series of pre-performance lectures ahead of all evening performances. Please note\, these will take place at E28 Harrie Massey Lecture theatre\, 25 Gordon Street\, and not at the Bloomsbury Theatre. Lectures are free but booking is essential. Please book via the link below.\n\n \n\nFurther information and to book.

SUMMARY:Classics Day\, St Olave's Grammar\, Orpington
DESCRIPTION:3rd of March 2020\n \n\nSt. Olave’s Grammar School is pleased to invite you to attend the Classics Day\, at which Dr Kathryn Tempest (University of Roehampton) will give a talk entitled Cicero the Arpinate: The Advantage of a Political Outsider. When Cicero won the consulship for 63 BC\, he was the first novus homo to enter the top spot ‘almost within living memory’ (Cic. Agr. 2.3). Yet to what extent did the advantage of being a political outsider outweigh the challenges Cicero had faced as a ‘new man’? And how did he use the outsider brand to advance his political ambitions? These are the questions she will consider in her talk\, focusing on Cicero’s rise to power and his self-representation before the people of Rome.\n\n \n\nSt. Olave’s Classics Day will start at 1.40pm and is open to Year 10 students and above. It aims to stretch\, entice and challenge Classicists and Latinists with ideas stemming from their syllabuses.\n\n \n\nIf you wish to participate and/or contribute to the day\, please do not hesitate to contact either Alexander Carroll (acarroll@saintolaves.net) or Alessandra Abbattista (aabbattista@saintolaves.net).

SUMMARY:Edith Hall Lectures at Gresham
DESCRIPTION:From Gresham….\n\n\n\nI thought your network would be interested in a series of three lectures about science in Ancient Greece by the classicist Professor Edith Hall\, who’s a visiting Professor at Gresham again this year. Hall is a superb lecturer. The lectures are first-come\, first-served\, but I should say that for anyone with schools links\, we can book some seats for school parties in the main hall.\n\n\n\nAll of our lectures are live-streamed online so you can watch them at a time and place to suit you.\n\n\n\nWith best wishes\n\n\n\nLucia Graves\n\n\n\nScience in Ancient Greece Edith Hall\, Visiting Professor of Classics https://www.gresham.ac.uk/series/science-in-ancient-greece/\n\n\n\nThursday 28 November 2019\, 1pm\, Barnard’s Inn Hall\n\n\n\nPhysics: its Birth in Greek Ionia \n\n\n\nThe study of the natural and physical world from a scientific viewpoint began in Greek cities on the western coast of Turkey around Miletus in about 600 BCE. The first scientists were known as physiologoi\, or men who discoursed about nature (physis). Each tried to put his various observations together in a way that constituted a coherent\, unified model. This lecture discusses the pioneering physical theories of Thales\, Anaximander\, Anaximenes\, Anaxagoras and Democritus.\n\n\n\nhttps://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/birth-of-physics\n\n\n\nThursday 5 March 2020\, 1pm\, Barnard’s Inn Hall\n\n\n\nEngineering: Archimedes of Syracuse\n\n\n\nIn the 3rd century BCE\, the Sicilian polymath Archimedes advanced significantly human understanding of mathematics\, geometry and astronomy. By applying his discoveries to practical problems and physical phenomena\, he became the founder of statics and hydrostatics\, demonstrating how levers work and in turn creating unprecedented war machines such as ‘Archimedes’ claw’ and ‘heat-ray’.\n\n\n\nhttps://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/archimedes\n\n\n\nThursday 28 May 2020\, 1pm\, Barnard’s Inn Hall\n\n\n\nHippocrates and Ancient Greek Medicine\n\n\n\nThe birth of rational medicine contributed to the scientific revolution which occurred amongst eastern Greek communities in the 7th-to-5th centuries BCE. Medical professionals still take the oath of the ancient Greek doctor Hippocrates of Kos\, preserved along with his medical treatises. They are a consummation of many decades of medical practice and empirical observation\, showing methods similar to the eastern Aegean natural scientists in seeking physical causes rather than supernatural explanations for natural phenomena\, whether related to geology\, weather\, disease or injury.   https://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/ancient-greek-medicine
