todd from EarthDiverse

Interested in how classical Greek and Roman art & architecture, literature, philosophy and religion have influenced modern civilisation and culture?

Join EarthDiverse in one of its History courses entitled "Understanding the Classical World & its Impact on Modern Life." This course, taught by Hamiltonian Peter Dornauf, meets Wednesdays 11:00am-1:00pm beginning 3 May 2023 and is available as an in-person course at the EarthDiverse centre in the Hamilton CBD or live-streamed via Zoom to anywhere in the world with a good internet connection.

Description: This series of 8 two-hour talks, from our Introductory World History series, explores and reveals the primal influences of classical Greece & Rome, and explains how these influences manifest today and get played out in the modern world. Knowing these things helps not only with our sense of identity, but also provides us with a point of reference against which to measure our values and make critical judgments.
