SUMMARY:Classics for All\, Historically
DESCRIPTION:Classics for All\, Historically\nwith Professor Edith Hall\, hosted by Professor Paul Cartledge.\n\n \n\nWednesday 12 May | 18:00 BST\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\nWe are delighted to be joined by Professor Edith Hall who will discuss her recent book\, A People’s History of Classics\, co-written with Henry Stead. Exploring the influence of the classical past on the lives of working-class people\, Edith will challenge the prevailing assumption that working-class culture was a ‘Classics-Free Zone’ and outline some of struggles that non-elite Britons went through to access the ancient Greeks and Romans between the Bill of Rights in 1689 and the outbreak of World War II in 1939. 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.

SUMMARY:'Virgil's Camilla\, Warrior Queen'
DESCRIPTION:Online Lecture by Dr Sharon Marshall\, University of Exeter\n \nTuesday 18 May at 5.00pm (Online Lecture).\n \n\nAt the end of Virgil’s catalogue of Italian allies in Book Seven of the Aeneid comes the warrior woman Camilla\, an extraordinary woman\, inured to battle and swift enough to race the winds. When war breaks out again between the Latins and Trojans later in Book Eleven\, Camilla proves to be the fiercest of warriors\, volunteering to confront the enemy and tragically dying when caught off guard. Camilla is a figure who has provoked fierce critical debate\, with scholars divided over where we should look to find Virgil’s influences for the Camilla episode\, whether she successfully subverts gender norms or ultimately reinforces them\, and how the episode resonates with the politics of the poem as a whole. In this lecture\, Dr Marshall will suggest that the tendency towards antithetical readings of the Camilla episode are the result of a tension inscribed in the poem itself\, from the very first book and\, in particular\, the image of another of Virgil’s warrior women\, Penthesilea\, the Queen of the Amazons. Questions and discussion will be welcome.\n\n \n\nThis lecture will be held on Teams and it promises to be both informative and thought-provoking. It will be of relevance to all those with an interest in classics\, literature\, myth and/or ancient history. There is no charge for attending the talk.\n\n \nemail: lsfclassics@lsf.org for details.
