- Prof. Paul Cartledge (University of Cambridge), “Thebes: the (nearly) lost city of Ancient Greece”
The city of Thebes in ancient Greece has too often been ‘forgotten’ - for various reasons. But actually there were two ancient cities of Thebes, not just one: the City of Myth (Kadmos, Oedipus and co) and the City of History (e.g., Epameinondas). The latter has been more often forgotten than the former! This short talk, based on a recent book, will seek to introduce both Cities - memorably.

Great lecture always a fan of prof. Cartledge.
Epaminondas the great liberator and true philosopher warrior is criminally underrated
More of these please!
Great talk
Hello from Thebes, Professor!
What a privilege to be able to listen to a lecture of Professor Cartledge.
Very interesting, thank you.
The new archaeological museum at Thebes is excellent.
Great lecture
From Guyana - In this part of English -speaking South America - two generations ago, we were brought up on Greek Mythology. One of our greatest mathematics teachers was a graduate of Fitzwilliam College. Since a large part of our population is Hindu, they understood Greco-Roman religion with a different reverence and understanding than those of the Abrahamic Faiths. A great lecture by a great Cambridge man who made the mistake by starting at Oxford.
Your Venezuelan neighbours refer to you as just the English. I know, because when my Dad went there, they called him the White English to make the distinction with the neighbours.
Excellent historical information
Superb learned exposition
Belated congrats
Professor Paul Cartledge. Wonderful Presentation. It is astonishing, though, that British Historians haven't yet educated themselves to the precise pronunciation of Our Hellenic names. They shout out.... Greek.. this...Greece ..that . The Barbarian Romans coined the name "Greek...Greece" and, foolishly, History ran with it. WE DID'NT !! We Are.. "ELLENES".. not Greek....OUR MYTHICAL COUNTRY IS ..."ELLAS" ...not Greece ! How simple could this be for flamboyant English speaking today, raising their stature at the podium, honoring "Who and What We Really Are" ! "Οι Αρχαίοι Τώρα Κωδικοί στην Έγκριση" ( "Our Ancients Now Nod in Approval" )
do you mean "HELLÁS" ? :D
Lolllll ‘asiatic’ 😂😂😂 that’s the ‘british school’ for ya
