But in Antigone Rising, classicist Helen Morales reminds us that the myths have subversive power because they can be told - and read - in different ways. Even today, myths are still informing harmful practices like diet culture and school dress codes. The picture of classical antiquity most of us learned in school is framed in certain ways - glossing over misogyny while omitting the seeds of feminist resistance. Audience Q&A will follow.Ī witty, inspiring reckoning with the ancient Greco-Roman myths and their legacy, from what they can illuminate about #MeToo to the radical imagery of Beyoncé. Join us online for a dialogue between Helen Morales (Classics) and Vilna Bashi-Treitler (Black Studies) about Morales’ new book, Antigone Rising: The Subversive Power of the Ancient Myths.
