Television historian Professor Bettany Hughes will be speaking in St Andrews as part of UK-wide series of events which aim to expand the teaching of classical subjects.
A well-known broadcaster, writer and ancient historian, Professor Hughes will give a public lecture called “The Story of Us” on the power and perils of storytelling from prehistory to the present day.
The talk will take a particular focus on classical culture - from Helen of Troy to Empress Theodora, asking why we choose to tell the stories we do about ourselves and how we can use those narratives as a potent agent of change.
Aimed at an audience with no prior knowledge of the classical world, the illustrated talk is one of a series of events promoting the teaching and learning of classical studies.
