In Red: Introducing the “hot” subject of the Reception of Classical Texts.

We have just finished discussing Antigone: From Sophocles to Lacan (Efimia Karakantza) and Brecht’s Antigone (Alexandros Velaoras). With our guest, James Andrews, Professor of Classics, visiting us from the University of Ohio in Athens, OH (Department of Classics and World Religions).

Efstathia Athanasopoulou in the action. Her ‘cup of tea’: Antigone on the post-colonial world stage: examining The Island by Athol Fugard. Happiness is in the air. On the foreground Akis Nikolopoulos.

All in circle: Tzo Kakoudaki in the middle giving instructions during her workshop on Aristophanes’ The Birds.

Still in circle: Alexandros Frantzis in the middle and most of the Jocastians around him in awe.

Celebrating after Tzo Kakoudaki’s seminar on Aristophanes’ The Birds. Beers are in order.
