About
Jim Cleary gives a lecture using British Museum artefacts to explore Greek myths, society, and their view of the gods.
Jim Cleary will use artefacts from the British Museum galleries to illustrate how the Greeks used myths to explain the world. The talk will explore what these myths reveal about Greek society and how the Greeks viewed their gods. He will also use objects to demonstrate connectivity and competition within the ancient Greek world.
