The schedule for this season’s seminars of the Herodotus Helpline has been announced: a mix of traditional seminar format, ‘retrospective’ sessions, and round-tables on key themes or works of scholarship.
All sessions begin at 6pm GMT. Everyone is welcome – just register as a member at www.herodotushelpline.org. You can also find other features there: the archive of previous seminar presentations, the ‘Ask the Helpline’ feature, and a link to the Helpline’s journal Syllogos, on the verge of its third issue.
