Come and join other Oxbridge alumni for a Saturday afternoon tour of the Altes Museum on the Museum Island. Followed by food&drink in a nearby restaurant.
After the success of Christopher Nolan’s “Odyssey”, archeologist Dr Hildegard Wiegel contrasts Hollywood’s depiction of the ancient Greek world and its religious beliefs with what we know from scientific research. A quick taster: Despite Elizabeth Taylor’s portrayal, Cleopatra was by no means an overly made-up femme fatale, while the fate of Odysseus was much more determined by women (than Mr Nolan imagined) and what does today’s student drama have to do with ancient Greek practice…?
