Jean Menzies is Queering the Greek Myths

Come spend your lunch-time in the sweet company of myths and gods, ancient heroes and prophets, all of the gorgeously queer kind!

In Queering the Greek Myths, historian Jean Menzies dives into the world of queer retellings and the Greek myths being told anew by LGBTQ+ writers. Moving past obvious contenders like Sappho or Achilles, she draws out the complexity of characters and their times, asking what they might tell us about our own societies.

Journey through questions of gender and identity across millenia, right here at Lighthouse!

This event will be 30 mins followed by audience questions and signing. Please feel free to attend any or all of these depending on your capacity!
