SUMMARY:'The Furies'\, Performed in Ancient Greek with English surtitles
DESCRIPTION:Who would do right\, fearing nothing? \nFollowing Agamemnon and Clytemnestra\, The Oxford Greek Play presents The Furies. \n15th-18th October \nOrestes has murdered his own mother\, Clytemnestra. In revenge\, she has sent the Furies: terrifying infernal spirits who spread poison and madness across the earth. Their vengeance is simple: kill and be killed. But things are changing. In Athens\, a criminal court has been established to end this cycle of murder and Orestes is its first defendant. \nPerformed by University of Oxford students\, The Oxford Greek Play is a rare opportunity to experience classical drama in its original language. Depicting the first murder trial ever held\, Aeschylus’ The Furies challenges the core of our own legal system. Can guilt be judged? Can justice be wrong? Are victims still victims when the case is closed

SUMMARY:Evening course: Introduction to Virgil's Aeneid
DESCRIPTION:An Introduction to Virgil’s Aeneid\nby Eva Mooney \n\nMondays\, 6-7pm \nat the East Oxford Community Classic Centre starting Monday 12th January\, and running for six weeks – free of charge (donations welcome) \n\nThe Aeneid is a monumental work written in the late first century BC about the Trojan hero Aeneas. After his city is razed in the Trojan War\, Aeneas leads a pack of refugees west and founds the Roman race; his descendant Romulus founds Rome. We will read Virgil’s masterpiece in translation\, and you will gain a good knowledge of both one of the most influential classical works and a pivotal period of human history – the Augustan Period in which Virgil wrote. The Aeneid straddles the line between fan-fiction and literary one-upmanship: Aeneas was a minor character in Homer’s Iliad whom Virgil makes the central character of the Aeneid and\, similar to the Odyssey\, goes on a journey to find a home. We will also discuss Roman cultural attitudes\, the Aeneid’s place as a piece of propaganda\, and the mythology involved in the story. \n\nYou can book for this course at info@irisproject.org.uk
