Antiquity has often been perceived as the source of Greece’s modern achievements as well as its frustrations. Indeed, the continuity between ancient and modern Greek culture and the legacy of classical Greece still shape the way Greeks perceive themselves.
The lecture challenges the dominant perspectives of the Greek past by shifting attention to the ways it has been constructed, performed, (ab)used, Hellenized, canonized and ultimately decolonized and re-imagined. Starting with the premise that the Greeks have
customarily been seen as trapped by their past, it will explore debates in the reception of antiquity in Greece over the last few decades. Specifically, it will identify transitions taking place from continuity to diversity, elite to popular receptions, texts
to performances, traces to uses and eternal glory to critical history. This wide-ranging lecture will look into the areas of language, literature, cartoons, popular culture and monuments to offer new perspectives on the place of antiquity in the creation
of modern Greek culture.</p>

The Thomas E. Leontis Lecture in Modern Greek Studies was established in 1987 by the Board of Trustees of The Ohio State University with gifts from Dr. Thomas E. Leontis. In 1995, Anna P. Leontis made additional gifts in memory of her late husband to create
the Thomas E. Leontis Endowment in Modern Greek. The purpose of the Endowment is two-fold: first, to serve as a catalyst in the Modern Greek Program at the University in generating a keener awareness of the importance of Greek history and culture, especially
since 1204; and second, to bring annually to the Ohio State campus a distinguished speaker of international reputation who will contribute to the cultural growth of the University and the community by offering new ideas and historical and cultural interpretations
of important past and current situations. In addition to the lectureship, the Endowment supports regular conference activities.</p>
