ABSTRACT:

On Wednesday, October 9 or 16, the Classics department proposes to bring to campus Alan Shapiro, W. H. Collins Vickers Professor of Archaeology at the Johns Hopkins University.  Dr. Shapiro, a noted expert in Athenian art and archaeology, will present a slide lecture entitled, "Heroine or Whore? The Judgment of Helen in Athenian Art." This lecture will serve as one of the Classics department's "Latin Cultural Events." Each year the Classics department requires that students registers in one of the first four semesters of Latin attend 3 out of (at least) 4 scheduled "Cultural Events." Dr. Shapiro's talk will, therefore, have a built-in core of attendance. his lecture will well serve other classes as well, however. May students from CL/EN 211, "Classical Mythology" can be expected to attend, as well as students in the lower and upper-level Greek classes. A lecture on Greek mythology, especially a slide lecture on Greek mythology, should also be attractive to members of the wider college community. The lecture will also serve the Classics department's goal of fostering ties with other Classics departments in the Baltimore/ Washington area. The Classics department will publicize the lecture widely on campus with posters and reminders in class.
