Dr. Peter Frankopan to Present First Lecture of Inaugural Potamianos Lecture Series on October 7 at Cotsen Hall
In his three talks for the Thalia Potamianos Annual Lectures Series (" Greece : Beginnings," " Greece : Legacies," and " Greece : Futures"), Dr. Frankopan will examine the role that Greece and Greek culture, literature, and language have played for more than two and a half millennia. However, rather than exploring the familiar and limited Mediterranean context, he will discuss it from a global perspective, allowing for a better understanding of both world history and Greece itself. The second and third lectures will be presented in Washington, D.C. , on March 16, 2022 , and New York City on May 10, 2022 .
Established in June 2020 , the Thalia Potamianos Annual Lectures Series seeks to create a stimulating environment to draw both the academic community and the general public to the Gennadius Library of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens . Every year, a highly distinguished, internationally renowned scholar is selected to conduct research and develop programs on a topic relevant to the Gennadius Library. The research will culminate in a minimum of three annual public lectures, which will be delivered in Athens and the United States .
This program is being made possible by a generous grant from Phokion Potamianos, a Gennadius Library Overseer. Mr. Potamianos named the series in memory of his grandmother, a distinguished Greek doctor, academic, and philanthropist.
