SUMMARY:Sport Of The Gods: Olympia and the Ancient Olympics
DESCRIPTION:Every four years\, the advent of the newest iteration of the Olympic games brings scrutiny and reflection on their ancient forebears. The ancient Olympics lasted for over 1000 years and were both very similar and very different to the modern games. They were held as religious games in honour of the great god Zeus at his sanctuary at Olympia in the Greek Peloponnese. The art and architecture of this sanctuary was emblematic of the ancient Olympic spirit – and represents some of the finest sculpted art to survive from ancient Greece. In this talk\, we look at the artistic and literary evidence for the ancient games\, learning about triumphs and heartaches\, and stories of athletes\, both weird and wonderful! \nDates and Locations \nTuesday 4 August 2026 Launceston (TAS) \nSaturday 22 August 2026 Rockhampton (QLD) \nClick on your preferred location above for more details and to book tickets.
