The Rest Is History
105. Classics
Oct 7, 2021
Join Professor Mary Beard, a distinguished classicist from Cambridge University, as she delves into the evolving legacy of ancient Greece and Rome. The conversation spans the bizarre imagery of Dante’s Hell featuring Julius Caesar and the controversial calls to cancel Classics in modern times. Mary highlights the enduring influence of classics on literature and culture, questions the elitism in classical studies, and even entertains a humorous debate about whether Alexander the Great or Julius Caesar would dominate in a historical showdown.
