Mary Beard-Classics-Georges Lecture

The Dennis A. Georges Lecture in Hellenic Culture

The Department of Classical Studies at Tulane University presents “‘Greek Lives’ How to write a biography of an ancient Greek (or Roman)” by Mary Beard (University of Cambridge).

Date ~ Wednesday, April 23, 2025

Time ~ 6:30PM

Location ~ Freeman Auditorium AT-205

This lecture will explore how we write biographies of people about whom we have so little evidence. And it will wonder how different ancient human beings are from us — and what difference that makes to how we write their lives.

This in-person, non-ticketed lecture is free and open to the public.  There will be no zoom component.  Tulane University is committed to providing universal access to all our events on site. Please contact Elizabeth M Reyna (ereyna@tulane.edu, 504-865-5719) the event organizer for accessibility accommodations. Please note that advance notice is necessary to arrange some accessibility needs.
