SUMMARY:Aristotle\, a Talk by Edith Hall
DESCRIPTION:Aristotle\nProfessor Edith Hall\nThursday 4 March 2021\, 1pm-2pm online (or watch later)\n\nhttps://www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-and-events/aristotle\nPlato’s most brilliant student and perhaps the most significant intellectual in world history\, Aristotle of Stageira built on the doctrines he had studied at the Academy but also radically disagreed with them. \nThe founder of Athens’ second great university\, the Lyceum\, did not believe there was any perfect\, ideal world that transcended human ability to see\, touch\, smell and hear it\, and proposed that all philosophy begin from with material reality of being a human animal in a complex natural world. \nAristotle contributed to many disciplines—scientific subjects as well as ‘Humanities’\, but his core philosophical beliefs are laid down in his Nicomachean Ethics\, Politics and Rhetoric\, which are analysed in this lecture\, as well as the major works of the next generation of practitioners of what became known as ‘Peripatetic’ philosophy. \nYou can find our past lectures from Hall here: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/schools/classics\n\nYou can read more about our free Gresham lectures since 1597 here.

SUMMARY:Dr Emily Hauser (Exeter): 'Women in the Trojan War'.
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 23rd March 2021\, 7pm –  Dr Emily Hauser (Exeter) \n\n\n\n‘Women in the Trojan War’. \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Emily will return to one of the oldest stories of Greek myth – the Trojan War – and ask what happens when we look at the story from the point of view of the women. What did Helen really look like? Did the Amazons really cut off one of their breasts to fight in battle at Troy? And who was the Amazon queen with whom Achilles fell in love – and\, according to some sources\, had a child? Bringing myth and history together\, Emily will explore what historical fiction can do for us in re-imagining the stories and the voices of the women of ancient Greek myth. Emily is an award-winning classicist\, Lecturer at the University of Exeter\, and the author of the acclaimed Golden Apple trilogy that retells the stories of the women of Greek myth. She has been featured on BBC Radio 4 Woman’s Hour and in The Guardian alongside Colm Tóibín and Natalie Haynes\, and her debut novel For the Most Beautiful was listed among the ‘28 Best Books for Summer’ in The Telegraph. \n\n\n\nIf you would like to attend this webinar\, please contact Richard Cole (richard.cole@bristol.ac.uk) for the link.

SUMMARY:What the Stoics can teach us about living through the Covid-19 crisis\, with Professor A. C. Grayling
DESCRIPTION:What the Stoics can teach us about living through the Covid-19 crisis\n\n \n\nA Lawyers Group Event\nwith Professor A. C. Grayling\, hosted by Sir Rupert Jackson.\n\n \n\nThursday 11 March | 18:00 GMT\n\n \n\nStoicism was the ethical outlook of educated people in the Hellenic and Roman periods of classical antiquity for over 500 years\, and remained influential among many of the same kind perpetually thereafter\, having a major influence in the 18th century Enlightenment also. It was the ethics of practical\, mature-minded people\, and provided a powerful aid to lives as different as those of Marcus Aurelius\, an emperor\, and Epictetus\, a slave. In this talk\, Professor A. C. Grayling will explore what the philosophy of Stoicism can teach us about living through times of crisis.\n\n \n\nThis event is the first of our 2021 Lawyers Group Events and will be hosted via Zoom Webinar by Sir Rupert Jackson\, Chair of our Lawyers Group Steering Committee. Because of the timely topic\, we are offering a limited number of tickets to members of the public (£20 standard\, or £10 concession).

SUMMARY:Stoicism and After: Philosophy and Life
DESCRIPTION:Stoicism and After: Philosophy and Life\n\n \n\nA Lawyers Group event with Professor A. C. Grayling\, hosted by Sir Rupert Jackson.\n\n \n\nTuesday 27 April | 18:00 BST\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\nBack by popular demand\, Professor A. C. Grayling has generously offered to host a sequel to his recent talk on What the Stoics can teach us about living through the Covid-19 crisis. In this Part 2\, Professor Grayling will discuss why the present-day revival of Stoicism\, based largely on late Stoic thinkers like Aurelius and Epictetus\, is interesting because of what it shows about the felt need for ethical principles in a secular age. He will explore the legacy of Stoicism\, as well as its relationship to later philosophies and belief systems.\n\n \n\nAs with the original talk\, this is a Lawyers Group event\, 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.

SUMMARY:"How to retire (if you're a Roman emperor)" Dr Rebecca Usherwood (Trinity College Dublin)
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday 27th April at 7.30 p.m. (on Zoom) \nDr Rebecca Usherwood (Trinity College Dublin) \nHow to retire (if you’re a Roman emperor) \nOn the 1st May 305\, Diocletian and Maximian\, who had ruled the Roman Empire together for twenty years\, abdicated. This was an action without precedent in Roman history\, and a radical departure from an emperor’s normal career trajectory. This lecture considers both this event and its aftermath in comparison to recent abdication events\, such as Beatrix of the Netherlands and Pope Benedict XVI. How can such a transition be explained to public? What issues might the continued existence of abdicated rulers cause to their successors\, and the stability of the state in more general? \nBooking Link: https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/cai-dublin-branch-lecture-dr-rebecca-usherwood-27th-april-730-pm-tickets-149400532013 \nContact: alexander.thein@ucd.ie

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

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.
