"Sports and War" lecture about to begin

DateTuesday, April 5, 2011 at 1:17PM

Our sixth Marathon2500 lecture, "Sports and War", by Professor Thomas Scanlon begins live in about 30 minutes.

You can still join us by clicking here:

http://marathon2500-6.eventbrite.com/

This global lecture - available free via webinar/conference call will look at the fascinating and puzzling legend(s) of Pheidippides (or whatever his name was), ancient long-distance messenger runners ("day runners" hemerodromoi) as a class, ancient footraces in the stadium, perhaps a bit about the Olympic truce (on the theme of sport and war), the Marathon Race in the modern Olympics, and modern long-distance running.  The common thread is the Greek and our own contest culture.

Department Chair of Comparative Literature, and Director of Comparative Ancient Civilizations at the University of California, Riverside, Tom Scanlon's research is on Greek and Roman sport, and Greek and Roman historical writing; his  teaching interests encompass most areas of Greek and Roman literature, language, and culture, including courses on ancient sports, religion, gender, and mythology.
