SYMPOSIUM: Aphrodite and the Gods of Love
Aphrodite and the Gods of Love, A Symposium will be held on Saturday, November 5th from 10:30 to 4:30 in Alfond Auditorium, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in conjunction with the exhibition (Torf Gallery, October 26, 2011 – February 20, 2011), the first devoted to the ancient goddess. An international team of experts, drawn largely from the contributors to the catalogue of the same title (available in the MFA bookshop and online), will present papers on different aspects of this complicated goddess: her cults and ancestors, the philosophy of beauty, and Eros. The symposium is funded by the Estelle Shohet Brettman Lecture Series supported by the International Catacomb Society. It is free and open to the public.
