CANI invites you to a lecture by Prof. Paul Cartledge (University of Cambridge) on Wednesday 26th February 2025 at 6.45pm (GMT), which will take place ONLINE (via Zoom link). Paul Cartledge will look at Athenian democracy with a talk titled:
”Periclean’ Athens, ‘Periclean’ Democracy, ‘Periclean’ Greece? What’s In a Name? Revisiting Biographical History’
Abstract: Ancient Athenian democracy and Pericles appear to go together like love and marriage (as perhaps he did with Aspasia…) but actually the relationship was far more complex, and stormy, than that. In this talk, Pericles will be revealed as the eccentric demagogue he was, within the context of the world’s first fully participatory (men-only) democracy.
