Stories of the Gods with Tim Whitmarsh - Public Lecture

Come along to AKS from 6.15pm for coffee and home made cakes, second hand bookstall, raffle and the chance to meet our speaker as we welcome Prof. Tim Whitmarsh (University of Cambridge) to the branch.
Tim works on all areas of Greek literature and culture, with a particular emphasis on the culture of Greeks under the Roman Empire. He has also written on religion and atheism in the ancient world, and on identity issues. He is also a Fellow of the British Academy and a frequent contributor to broadcast media. Here he will take us back to the Byzantine age and explore how stories were told about the ancient gods!
