Ancient Greek Art at the Met
Tuesday, January 31 at 7 p.m.
By examining vases, sculpture, and metalwork, all from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, we will amble in an ancient Athenian cemetery; cheer Athens’ equivalent of a Fourth of July parade, the Panathenaia; have a drink at a men’s party; and join the Greek army. We’ll even jump into a 2,500-year-old chariot to learn about the Trojan War.
