Story
The reasons for so little being known about Thebes and its contributions to ancient Greek civilization are complex, but the fact that it was totally destroyed by Alexander the Great is certainly one. Unlike Athens and Sparta, there are no magnificent structures still extant - indeed, the scale of the destruction meted out to Thebes was so great, that very few artifacts of any kind have been discovered that enable a full picture of life in the city. With the very notable exception of Pindar, Thebes did not produce significant numbers of philosophers or playwrights.

Story
Proud Xerxes, Emperor of Persia and King of Kings, invades Greece with a million soldiers. He commands thousands of ships and is supported by dozens of allies, among them the charming Queen Artemisia. At Thermopylae, a rocky mountain pass in northern Greece, the feared and admired Spartan soldiers stood 300 strong. Theirs was a suicide mission, to hold the pass against the invading millions of the mighty Persian army.

Story
There have been no shortage of great warrior societies in history, including the Romans, Mongols, Macedonians, and Vikings, and the list goes on. Yet one humble city in particular, nestled in a valley near the Eurotas River in the Greek region of the Peloponnese and once ridiculed as little more than a cluster of villages inhabited by uncouth shepherds, produced the most famous warrior elite the world has ever known.

Performance

Story
Since its dramatic birth in ancient Greece, “Europe” has been defined, and redefined, by its people. Through this powerful lens, and with the narrative drive and scope of a novelist, Beaton deftly surveys Europe’s major historical developments: the rise and fall of Rome; the explosion of Christianity; the intellectual ferment of the Renaissance and the Enlightenment; the arrival of Europeans in the Americas; the violent upheavals of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; and the uncertainties of the present.

Story
Het moderne Griekenland kent een bewogen geschiedenis. Haar link met de klassieke Oudheid en haar strategische ligging gaven het in de 19e en 20e eeuw een buitenproportionele plek op het wereldtoneel. Westerse intellectuelen projecteerden een ideaalbeeld op de nog jonge natie, terwijl grote mogendheden Griekenland als een vitale regio zagen voor hun eigen geopolitieke belangen. Meer dan eens werd het land daarmee ongewild een speelbal binnen internationale conflicten, zoals in WO II of tijdens de Koude Oorlog.

Story
In 146 BC, Greece yielded to the military might of the Roman Republic; sixty years later, when Athens and other Greek city-states rebelled against Rome, the general Lucius Cornelius Sulla destroyed the city of Socrates and Plato, laying waste to the famous Academy where Aristotle had studied. However, the traditions of Greek cultural life would continue to flourish during the centuries of Roman rule that followed, in the lives and work of a distinguished array of philosophers, doctors, scientists, geographers, travellers and theologians.

Story
According to the ancient writer Arrian, when Alexander attempted to apply proskynesis to his court, his decision was met with massive criticism from both the Macedonians and Greeks. And even when he stopped the practice, the Macedonians continued to witness their king apply a variety of Persian customs in the kingdom. Some said his Persianization played a minor role in his death, while others claimed that he died of natural causes. The sources that tell the story of Alexander often contradict each other, which can be confusing for those hoping to learn about the great king’s eventful life.

Er valt veel te vertellen over het vrouwenleven in 1000 jaar Griekse oudheid, van Homerus tot en met Plutarchus, ondanks dat de geschriften van mannelijke auteurs onze belangrijkste bron van informatie vormen. Classicus Hein van Dolen begint zijn hoorcollege met de verhalen over de schepping van de vrouw en de redenen van de opkomende vrouwenhaat bij de antieke Griekse mannen. De positie van de vrouw zoals Homerus die heeft beschreven komt aan bod, evenals de huwelijkssluiting in de epische tijd. Wat waren hun plichten en (weinige) rechten voor en na het huwelijk?
