"The Modern West: Has it lived up to the standards of ancient Greece?"
To mark the National Day of Greece, the Consul General of Greece in Boston and the Boston University Philhellenes are proud to sponsor the second annual "Lectures in Modern Philhellenism." Are the United States and other Western nations who lay claim to the political and cultural heritage of ancient Greece living up to the standards set by the ancient Hellenes? Join us for a debate and discussion on this controversial question. The speakers for the event: Dr. Nicolas Prevelakis (Harvard University, Center for Hellenic Studies) Professor Ioannis Evrigenis (Tufts University) Professor Stephanie Nelson (Boston University) Professor Loren J. Samons (Boston University) Hosted by Ifigenia Kanara (Consul General of Greece in Boston), Boston University Philhellenes, Boston University Department of Classical Studies, Boston University Core Curriculum
