On Monday, 11 April 2016, at 19.00 we welcome, Emeritus Professor of Classical Archeology at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and full member of Academy of Athens, Michalis Tiverios for a lecture on the Ancient Greek Symposium:
ABOUT THE ANCIENT GREEK SYMPOSIUM
I like not him who at his drinking beside the full
mixing-bowl tells of strife and lamentable war, but
rather one that taketh thought for delightsome
mirth by mingling the Muses and the splendid gifts
of Aphrodite [Anacreon]
(transl. J. M. Edmonds)
Michalis Tiverios is Emeritus Professor at the School of History and Archeology AUTH. He studied in Thessaloniki and Bonn, has earned many distinctions in Greece and abroad and has a rich literary work. He comes to the Gerovassiliou Wine Museum to talk about a subject that he knows and loves in depth: the ancient Greek symposium.
Just before the lecture the Wine Museum will be open from 18.00-19.00.
Entrance is free
