About
Join Professor Alastair Blanshard (Paul Eliadis Chair of Classics and Ancient History, The University of Queensland) as he asks if there’s any truth to Shelly’s famous line “we are all Greeks”.
In front of Michael Zavros’ mural of the Parthenon, Acropolis Now (2023), Professor Blanshard explores the enduring legacies of Hellenism and the ways in which Greek mythology has persevered in to contemporary society.
