SUMMARY:Classical Lies: Are Homer and Virgil Telling the Truth?
DESCRIPTION:Ingo Gildenhard of King’s College\, Cambridge is reprising his excellent talk on Classical Lies in Homer and Virgil at Shrewsbury High School\, May 1st\, 16.10 – 18.00. This event is open to all studying Classical Civilisation\, Latin\, Greek and Ancient History\, or to those with an interest in the Classics. \n\nThis will be an interactive seminar designed to explore questions such as: can we trust what we read in Homer and Virgil? What do we do if one classical writer challenges another (to the point of calling him a liar)? And: to what extent is critical dialogue between authorities a constitutive feature of the classical tradition? The event will be accessible to anyone interested in the classical world (and its afterlife)\, irrespective of language skills.\n\nFor further information\, contact Jo Lashly\, Head of Classics\, Shrewsbury High School\nj.lashly@shr.gdst.net 01746 494000\nThere is no charge for this event\, but please let us know numbers if you are thinking of attending.\n\nSee you there:\nShrewsbury High School\, Performing Arts\n16.10 – 18.00

SUMMARY:An Evening with David Starkey: Magna Carta
DESCRIPTION:This year marks the 800th anniversary of Magna Carta\, one of the most famous historical documents in the world. Originally issued by King John as a practical solution to the political crisis he faced in 1215\, Magna Carta or ‘the Great Charter’ established for the first time the principle that everybody\, including the King\, was subject to the law. \nTo commemorate this landmark historical anniversary\, Edgbaston High School will be hosting an evening with David Starkey\, one of the country’s most respected and well-known historians and television personalities. Formerly a lecturer at the London School of Economics\, Starkey became a household name through his work as a broadcaster\, most notably as a uniquely abrasive debater on Radio 4’s Moral Maze and the creator and presenter of many very popular historical T.V. series on subjects such as Henry VIII\, Elizabeth I\, the British monarchy and the Churchills. \nHis most recent book entitled Magna Carta will be launched in April this year and he will be visiting school on Monday 18th May to deliver a stimulating and thought-provoking lecture on the document’s historical and contemporary relevance. The evening will begin at 7pm and will conclude at approximately 9.30pm. It will include a question and answer session with Mr. Starkey and a book signing. Light refreshments will also be served. \nTickets for the event cost £10 per person and can be purchased in person from Edgbaston High School for Girls. \nAlternatively\, you can buy tickets by post by sending a cheque made payable to ‘Edgbaston High School for Girls’ and a stamped\, addressed envelope to the following address: \nBenjamin Smith\,\nHead of History\,\nEdgbaston High School for Girls\,\nWestbourne Road\,\nEdgbaston\,\nBirmingham\,\nB15 3TS. \nTickets are limited and will be allocated on a first come\, first served basis so please book as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. Special seating has been reserved for disabled guests so please notify us when booking if you or a member of your party has a disability. \nIf you have any queries or would like any further information please contact Mr. Benjamin Smith\, the Head of History by Telephone on: 0121 454 5831 or by e-mail at: smithb@edgbastonhigh.co.uk

SUMMARY:Year 11 & 12 Classics and English Day at the Faculty of Classics\, University of Oxford
DESCRIPTION:Following on from the success of our Ancient and Modern Philosophy Day with Corpus Christi College at the start of the year\, the Faculty of Classics\, together with Oriel College and Regent’s Park College\, are proud to offer UK Year 11 and Year 12 students an introduction to studying Classics and English at university. The day (28th May) will include a taster seminar\, lunch in the main dining hall\, two college tours with current students\, and in-depth information on the Oxford admissions process. The day is entirely free of charge. \nIn the Classics and English taster seminar\, participants will explore the enduring influence of the family in tragedy and epic with Oxford tutors. Agamemnon sacrifices his daughter\, Iphigeneia\, in order to appease the gods\, an action that leads to his own death and his wife’s and torments his children’s futures. After ten years of war\, Odysseus endures perils and temptations as he travels to regain his home\, his wife and his son. Aeneas carries his father away from burning Troy and becomes the ‘founding father’ of Rome. Amata\, Lavinia’s mother\, is corrupted by Allecto to subvert the foundation legend. Eve eats the forbidden fruit\, condemning her husband Adam and the whole of humankind to mortality. Mary\, Eve’s ‘daughter’\, gives birth to Jesus who\, through his own sacrificial death\, will redeem humans and regain Paradise. \nTragic falls\, epic narratives: at the heart of these lies the story of the family\, its steadfastness\, its temptations\, its cruelties and its redemptive possibilities. Why are there differences in the way the family is depicted in Homeric\, Virgilian and Christian epic? Are women always to blame when things go wrong? What happens when patriarchy fails? Must tragedy always involve the family? Is redemption possible and can it all end well after all? All to be explored in our seminar! \nFor information on booking details please visit the Oriel College website: http://www.oriel.ox.ac.uk/content/classics-and-english-day \nDeadline: Please complete the booking form by 18 May 2015. We are expecting this to be a popular event\, so bookings will be accepted on a first come-first served basis. If you have any questions about the day\, please contact Mai Musie at mai.musie@classics.ox.ac.uk . \nFor further information about our cross-discipline days and the Faculty of Classics’ Outreach Programme please visit our website: http://www.classics.ox.ac.uk/Outreach.html
