Lecture on the Ancient Greek Symposium at the Gerovassiliou Wine Museum

On Monday, 11 April 2016, at 19.00 we welcome, Emeritus Professor of Classical Archeology at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and full member of Academy of Athens, Michalis Tiverios for a lecture on the Ancient Greek Symposium:
 

ABOUT THE ANCIENT GREEK SYMPOSIUM

I like not him who at his drinking beside the full
mixing-bowl tells of strife and lamentable war, but
rather one that taketh thought for delightsome
mirth by mingling the Muses and the splendid gifts
of Aphrodite [Anacreon] 
(transl. J. M. Edmonds)

Michalis Tiverios is Emeritus Professor at the School of History and Archeology AUTH. He studied in Thessaloniki and Bonn, has earned many distinctions in Greece and abroad and has a rich literary work. He comes to the Gerovassiliou Wine Museum to talk about a subject that he knows and loves in depth: the ancient Greek symposium.

Just before the lecture the Wine Museum will be open from 18.00-19.00.

Entrance is free
