A Panel Discussion hosted by SPGH and the Embassy of Greece in Washington DC
About this Event

Join us for the second panel discussion focusing on Greek Classics, where we will explore why everyone today, regardless of heritage, should care about the Ancient Greek culture. We will examine the lessons to be learned from engaging directly with Ancient Greek classics, as well as the remarkable traditions in literature, philosophy, and politics that have defined our modern world and were themselves inspired by Homer, Plato, and Pericles. Even in difficult times, there is reason for optimism!

Our three distinguished panelists are: Andre Archie, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Colorado State University; Claire Catenaccio, Assistant Professor of Classics, Georgetown University; and Alex Petkas, host of the podcast “The Cost of Glory.”

The moderator is Joshua T. Katz, Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and formerly Cotsen Professor in the Humanities and Professor of Classics at Princeton University.


This event is co-hosted by the Society for the Preservation of the Greek Heritage and the Embassy of Greece.
