This talk will explore how ancient Greek mythological tragedy provided a safe place for social and political criticism inside the communist apparatus of Serbia. We’ll discover the unique value that Serbian authors shared for Greek antiquity and intercultural exchange, and what we can learn from that continuing inspiration today.
A video recording will be available for viewing for 30 days following the lecture.
The link will be circulated shortly after the presentation.
