SUMMARY:Carol Dougherty: "Nobody's Home: Metis\, Improvisation\, and the Instability of Return in Homer's Odyssey"
DESCRIPTION:The UCSC Classical Studies Program presents The Annual Carl Deppe Lecture with\nProfessor Carol Dougherty Wellesley College \nThis talk considers Homer’s Odyssey in light of recent work in improvisatory studies to suggest that returning home is a creative rather than restorative act. Odysseus is famous for his mētis\, exactly the kind of practical reasoning upon which improvisation depends\, and close readings of his encounters abroad with the Cyclops and at home with Eumaeus\, Telemachus\, Penelope\, and Laertes will show that Odysseus’ lies and acts of deception do not temporarily disguise his true identity but rather enable him to construct himself anew upon his return. \nCarol Dougherty is Professor of Classical Studies and Margaret E. Deffenbaugh and LeRoy T. Carlson Professor in Comparative Literature at Wellesley College. She has published numerous books and articles on the literature and cultural history of archaic and classical Greece and is currently working on a book on Homecomings and Housekeepings in Classical and Contemporary Literature.

SUMMARY:Adrienne Mayor: "The Warrior's Husband: Theseus\, Antiope\, and the Amazons”
DESCRIPTION:Fierce Amazons are at the center of some of the most famous Greek myths. Every great hero\, from Heracles to Achilles\, tangled with warrior queens\, and Theseus captured and married the Amazon Antiope. Were Amazons mere figments of the Greek imagination? Combining classical myth and art\, nomad traditions\, and scientific archaeology\, this lecture reveals intimate\, surprising details and original insights about the fighting women known as Amazons\, with a special focus on Antiope. \nAdrienne Mayor’s most recent book is The Amazons: Lives and Legends of Warrior Women Across the Ancient World (Princeton 2014). She is also the author of numerous publications; other books include a biography of Mithradates\, The Poison King\, a nonfiction finalist for the 2009 National Book Award\, and The First Fossil Hunters (2000). A research scholar in Classics and History of Science at Stanford\, Mayor’s work is often featured on the BBC\, The History Channel\, National Geographic\, History Today\, and other media.

SUMMARY:Carl Mark Deppe Lecture: Harry Berger Jr.: "Dying Angry: The Wrath of Socrates in Plato's Dialogue\, Phaedo"
DESCRIPTION:Plato wrote four dialogues dramatizing the last days and death of Socrates:  Euthyphro\, The Apology\, Crito\, and Phaedo.  “Dyng Angry” will focus on Socrates’s behavior and performance —and weirdness—in Phaedo. \nHarry Berger Jr. came to Cowell College and UCSC from Yale in 1965 when our campus opened. He was the first appointment in English Literature\, and he was largely responsible for hiring the original cadre of English literature faculty. Since that time he’s taught courses ranging from classics to modern poetry for Cowell College\, the Literature Department\, and History of Consciousness. He retired in 1994 but has taught a lot since then and in general keeps himself too busy to stay out of trouble. \nIn 2003 he received a Lifetime Award from the International Spenser Society.The proceedings of a 2006 conference in his honor were published with revisions and additions in a volume of essays: A Touch More Rare: Harry Berger\, Jr.\, and the Arts of Interpretation\, ed. David Miller and Nina Levine (New York: Fordham University Press\, 2009). He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2006\, and in 2010 he received the Constantine Panunzio Distinguished Emeriti Award from the University of California. \nBerger has published 13 books and over 100 essays on a wide variety of topics in classics\, art history\, Renaissance culture\, and modern poetry. Many of these deal with Plato\, Shakespeare\, Spenser\, Vermeer\, Rembrandt\, and theories of literature and art. Three new books are forthcoming from Fordham University Press: \nSimonides in Couch City:  Studies in Plato’s Republic and Protagoras\, 2014.\nHarrying: Skills of Offense in Shakespeare’s Henriad\, 2014.\nThe Perils of Uglytown: Studies in Structural Misanthropology from Plato to Rembrandt. 2014.

SUMMARY:Nicholas D. Cahill: "The City of Sardis"
DESCRIPTION:The UCSC Society of the Archaeological Institute of America and the President’s Chair in Ancient Studies present a lecture in an ongoing series on “Archaeology and the Ancient World” \nThis lecture will present the results of current research at Sardis in western Turkey\, the capital city of the Lydians and of their last king\, Croesus. Recent excavation has dramatically changed our ideas about the Lydian city\, with the discovery of the monumental city wall\, terraces that regularized and organized the rugged natural topography\, very probably used as a palatial quarter; houses burned by the Persian sack of the city in 547 BC. It will consider the later history of the city\, including the temple of Artemis\, the Hellenistic theater\, and a temple of the Roman imperial cult. \nNicholas D. Cahill earned his B.A. at the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor in 1981. After that\, Cahill went on to the University of California-Berkeley to earn both his M.A. in 1984 and his Ph.D. in 1991 in Ancient History and Archaeology. Cahill specializes in Greek and Anatolian archaeology\, especially urbanism and housing. He has done field work in Turkey\, England and Israel. Professor Cahill has been honored with the National Endowment for the Humanities / American Research Institute in Turkey award for sabbatical year research (2005-2006); the title of UW Humanities Institute Fellow (2000-2001); and the American Council of Learned Societies Fellowship (1995-1996.) Nicholas is currently teaching at the University of Wisconsin (Madison) where he has been employed since 1993. \nTalk begins at 5:00 pm\, refreshments served at 4:30 pm\, with a reception following lecture.

SUMMARY:Anthony Barbieri-Low: "Imagining the Tomb of the First Emperor of China"
DESCRIPTION:The UCSC Society of the Archaeological Institute of America and the President’s Chair in Ancient Studies present a lecture in an ongoing series on “Archaeology and the Ancient World” \nThe tomb complex of the First Emperor of China is arguably the most important archaeological site in the world. Since the tomb will not be excavated in our lifetime\, if ever\, imagination will always play a major role in trying to understand what is in the tomb. Ever since the Emperor was first interred\, authors\, artists\, and archaeologists have tried to reconstruct and imagine what lies in his tomb. Such reconstructions allow the imaginer to project his fears\, hopes\, and expectations on the site\, and can tell us even more about the imaginers than it does about the world they imagine. This talk will explore how historians\, poets\, artists\, archaeologists\, movie directors\, and video-game designers have imagined the First Emperor’s underground realm. \nTalk begins at 5:00 pm\, refreshments served at 4:30 pm\, with a reception following lecture.\nAnthony Barbieri-Low is Associate Professor of Early Chinese History at UC Santa Barbara. He graduated from UCSC in 1994 with a degree in History\, and went on to receive his M.A from Harvard and Ph.D. from Princeton. He has wide-ranging research interests in many aspects of Early China\, including technology\, organization of production\, labor history\, gender and social relations\, legal process\, material culture\, and state formation. In 2007\, he published the book Artisans in Early Imperial China\, which went on to receive four major international book prizes in ancient history\, art history\, and Chinese studies. He has just completed a book-length translation and study of ancient Chinese legal texts and is preparing another book on interpretations of the First Emperor of China.\nFree parking for lecture in Cowell-Stevenson parking lots. For more information on the lecture or the AIA\, please contact hedrick@ucsc.edu.
