Lytham St Annes Classical Association welcome Professor Carey – The Gods in Greek Tragedy

Professor Carey was Professor of Classics at Royal Holloway from 1991 and in 2000, he was described as one of the ‘stars of modern classical scholarship’ by The Independent. In 2003, he took up the Chair of Greek at University College London where he is now Emeritus Professor of Greek and he has published widely on Greek literature, particularly Athenian law, Herodotus, and Greek drama, whilst his passion for Greek lyric began with his PhD on the poet Pindar. Most recently he has written on ‘Drama and Democracy’ and in his talk for the Association he will take us back to the Athenian stage and to the gods who were intrinsic to the staging, ritual, and storytelling of this ancient artform.

This lecture will be held at AKS Lytham, Clifton Drive South, Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, FY8 1DT. Doors open at 6.15pm for refreshments and a chance to meet the lecturer, and the talk begins at 7pm. After a short question and answer session, the meetings should finish by 8:30pm. We are a really friendly bunch and can always guarantee visitors a warm welcome, a great lecture, and some lovely homemade cake!
