SUMMARY:Adventures in Greek Language: Thessaloniki\, 4-10 September 2016
DESCRIPTION:Adventures in Greek Language: Thessaloniki\, 4-10 September 2016\nhttp://www.greekproject.co.uk \nDo you already know some Greek\, or perhaps have studied classics and would like to convert that knowledge into something you could use in a modern\, living context? Then ‘Adventures in Greek Language’ could be for you! A week-long intensive language course based in Thessaloniki\, northern Greece\, our aim is to enable learners with some basic (ancient or modern) knowledge of the language towards an ability to genuinely converse with native speakers plus reading and writing skills to match. Led by course tutor\, Elissavet Stagoni\, we’re also committed to making language-learning – as it should be – a truly fun-laden experience. \n‘Adventures in Greek Language’ comes to you auspices of the Greek Project\, an exciting new study-tour initiative coming out of the jaws of a horrible economic crisis. Each of our study tours are geared towards people who want some intellectual stimulation as part of their wider enjoyment of going on holiday. With Thessaloniki as our base\, classes will be supplemented by guided explorations of the city and its hinterland’s classical\, Byzantine\, Ottoman and Jewish past\, not to say of its fantastic gastronomic delights. If you’d like to find out more about ‘Adventures in Greek Language’ and our other study-tours go to the Greek Project http://www.greekproject.co.uk or simply contact us at info@greekproject.co.uk

SUMMARY:'Can a Roman die like Socrates?' A Talk by Michael Trapp.
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday 21st September at 4.30 pm\, Professor Michael Trapp will be speaking on: \n‘Can a Roman die like Socrates?’ \nSuicide as an act of defiance and a means of escape in the face of defeat and disgrace was a great tradition in Roman political life.  In this illustrated talk\, Professor Trapp explores how some particularly high profile Roman suicides in the late Republic and early Empire modelled their departure – or were portrayed as having done so – on the martyrdom four centuries before of the Athenian philosopher Socrates. He also asks how this piece of Roman imitation went down with subsequent generations of Greeks. \nMichael Trapp is Professor of Greek Literature and Thought at King’s College\, London. He has a particular interest in how figures from antiquity – Socrates is the richest and most provocative of all examples of this – have been re-imagined\, appropriated and represented since their own day. \nThe talk is hosted by the St Paul’s Girls’ School Classics Society. Tea and cake will be served from 4.00 in the Dining Hall and the talk will be held in the Drama Studio. The event will finish between 5.30 and 6.00. There is no charge. \nThe address of the school is St Paul’s Girls’ School\, Brook Green\, London\, W6 7BS; main telephone 020 7603 2288. The nearest tube is Hammersmith. \nAll are welcome\, but if you or your pupils would like to attend\, please email Gregory Wilsdon at gregory.wilsdon@spgs.org with expected numbers as soon as possible and at the latest by Monday 19th September
