This lecture is sponsored by the Friends of the Madison Public Library
Every two years, the modern Olympic Games are held, but now you can learn about their ancient predecessor through art. We’ll explore how this religious event in southern Greece—occurring each fourth summer—developed over the course of 1,100 years and see how it helped unite Greek speakers scattered across the ancient world.
Presented by art historian Michael Norris
