Greek Tragedy in the Modern World with Paul O'Mahony and Professor Fiona Macintosh
Переглядів 363Рік тому
What is it about Greek tragedy that continues to fascinate us? Over 2,500 years since the heyday of tragedy in 5th century BC Athens, the plays of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides continue to hold sway in our cultural imagination. Why are they still performed and what lessons do they have to teach us about life, loss, and the human condition? This was a Classics for All Lawyers Group event, ...

Rome: The Motion Picture, Migration and Mobility in an Ancient Empire with Professor Greg Woolf
Переглядів 282Рік тому
Did most people in the Roman empire live in small, contained worlds, hardly aware of how vast the imperial system was? Or was the empire intensely connected? Combining Latin epigraphy and underwater archaeology, forensic anthropology and the study of the trade in enslaved peoples, we are beginning to get some new and better answers to the questions of who moved, how often and for what purposes ...

    I wonder why your book ends its survey in 1939. It would be interesting to know if working-class troops read the classics during the war. Your cut-off date also precludes attention to the impact of Penguin Classics (founded by E.V. Rieu in 1944), whose remit was to make good translations of the classics available in cheap paperbacks. Coming from a working-class family and having attended a secondary modern school in the late 1960s and early 1970s, my reading of Penguin Classics was the beginning of my self-education in classical literature. I eventually taught English at Strathclyde University and one of the Honours classes I devised and taught was Classical Literature in Translation. I have fond memories of the great enthusiasm and insight that the students brought to reading and discussing the set texts: Homer, The Iliad, tr. Robert Fitzgerald, ed. G. S. Kirk (Oxford, 2008), Homer, The Odyssey, tr. Robert Fagles, ed. Bernard Knox (Penguin, 1996), Sophocles, Antigone, Oedipus the King, and Electra, ed. Edith Hall and tr. H.D.F. Kitto (Oxford University Press, 2008), Virgil, The Aeneid, tr. Robert Fagles (Penguin, 2006), Ovid, Metamorphoses, tr. David Raeburn (Penguin, 2004).

    William Shakespeare would not been famous if he had not read the Greek classics. The myths and legends told in classical literature were the popular stories in their times and relevant today as they cover all human emotions.

    Nonsense conceptualizing of the term "religion".If you search in a an arab-english dictionary the translation of the word "deen" you'll obtain "religion", but that's not the exact equivalent in the islamic faith,cult, whatever.That does it mean that Muslims doesn't have a religion? Obviously not. So the same with ancient greeks.The map is not the territory.

    No . Yet Vedic teachings to impart character building, social habits to live in harmony etc did exist as far as I know. Our Vedas and Upanishads don't have the word RELIGION IN THEM. YET SPIRITUALITY did exist in various forms and discipline disciplines. Hinduism was given to INDIANS after the foreign investors pushed themselves into our GREAT LAND . WHICH IS VERY SAD

      @annamnedungadi1581 Why do you use the euphemism "foreign invaders"? Just say Muslim and Mohammeden. Indian civilisation in the North and North-West was destroyed, burned to the ground by the Muslims. Śaivism and Buddhism and Sanskrit and Vedic culture were wiped out. And, yet, you Indians still allow Islam to exist in your lands??

    I'm writing in a state of despair and discontent about my disadvantageous life. And I have tried remedies from philosophy and stoicism to soothe my unfortunate pains, with negligible success. I have the following question from Professor Graying whom I watched most of his lectures and read his books: Would he still talk about tranquillity and virtuous life, if he was born in a desperate family and world? It is much easier to be virtuous in the English intellectual world and talk about virtue, not in a peasant family with a burden of 5 eternal dependents. having said that I still continue to learn about stoic remedies to misery.

    It's so nice that in an age where so many schools are teaching woke nonsense and pronouns that some schools are teaching kids, especially poorer ones, things that really matter. You also see that when given the chance, the young people excel.

    • @default3252
      @default3252 5 місяців тому

      I think you'll find that pronouns are necessary to learn Latin, and any language, boomer.

  • @SpiderDijon2
    @SpiderDijon2 Рік тому

    The thing that struck me about this, and something that the kids themselves allude to, is that it will help them learn other languages. Children in the UK are, for the most part, not taught any English grammar, and this negatively impacts their ability to learn any other languages because they do not understand the basic building blocks of human communication. Learning Latin or Ancient Greek requires a clear engagement with grammatical concepts and, aside from being great for the children's cognitive development, will mean it will be miles easier for them if they choose to study languages later on.

    AC has such a tiny brain to actually think we got all this naturally on its own. The 1LofT states that energy can't be created or destroyed, it can't happen naturally. One aspect of the 2LofT shows that the universe is winding down, usable energy is becoming less usable. It is clear creation had to be done supernaturally at some point yet it is still denied because people are just too proud to accept that, among other things.

    • @richardharris8538
      @richardharris8538 Рік тому

      “Why is there something, instead of nothing?” is a question that confounds philosophy, science, and religion. Whence came matter, energy, and laws of nature? Were they just ordained by a Divine Creator? No, gods are no answer, they just beget another question; “What begot gods, is there an infinite regression?” Religion’s sciolistic answers rely on specious etiology, and the rhetorical sophistry of casuistic teleology.

    Who's the satirist angry at? What's the target? Juvenal complained about new Romans - forward women, Greeks especially tutors, rising millionaires not the old class. When I read Juvenal, I was reminded of Private Eye. Under Hislop it's become milder but it would rather attack the stupid people who support Princess Diana than those who stand by the idea of monarchy (for whatever reason). You can attack an idea (Menippean satire) or a person or all stupid people. Satirize Trump because he's vulgar or the Constitution because it allows a President to declare a war. Define satire by what's the target?
