HARVARD ED PORTAL, 224 Western Avenue, Allston MA
Celebrate the fall harvest season by feasting with your neighbors! Join the Harvard Ed Portal in collaboration with the Harvard Art Museums and the Ceramics Program, Office for the Arts at Harvard, for a special evening inspired by the Animal-Shaped Vessels from the Ancient World: Feasting with Gods, Heroes, and Kings exhibition, on view at the Harvard Art Museums through January 6, 2019.
Start the night off with a visit to the Ceramics Program to see Raise a Glass, an exhibition featuring contemporary responses to the ancient objects in Animal-Shaped Vessels. Then head next door to the Ed Portal to experience feasting traditions from the ancient world through food, drink, music, and performance inspired by the cultures—and creatures—represented in the museums’ exhibition.
The program will take place at the Harvard Ed Portal, located at 224 Western Avenue, in Allston, Massachusetts.
Tickets are required for this event and cost $10 per person. Your ticket is inclusive of all food, drink, and entertainment, and each attendee will also receive a complimentary admission pass to the Harvard Art Museums. This event is open only to participants aged 21 and older.
Tickets are available by phone, online, or in person beginning at noon on Friday, October 19, through the Harvard Box Office. For more information, please visit the Harvard Box Office website.
Crucial support for the Animal-Shaped Vessels exhibition came in the form of a major grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities: Exploring the Human Endeavor. In addition, the Harvard Art Museums are deeply grateful to the anonymous donor of a gift in memory of Melvin R. Seiden and to Malcolm H. Wiener (Harvard A.B. ’57, J.D. ’63) and Michael and Helen Lehmann for enabling us to mount this exhibition and to pursue the related research. This work was also made possible in part by the David M. Robinson Fund and the Andrew W. Mellon Publication Funds, including the Henry P. McIlhenny Fund.

“Migrancy as Theme and Ethic in Late Republican Roman Literature.”
This talk works with what may strike some as an unusual pairing — the Greek historian and essayist Dionysius of Halicarnassus and the Latin poet Vergil — to lay out a new paradigm for understanding Roman literature as an engagement with the challenge of migration to intellectual life, in the context of Rome’s aggressive expansion of empire. Drawing on the thinking of Hannah Arendt and Édouard Glissant, themselves both migrant thinkers, I explore the ethic of tragic awareness and obligation latent in Dionysius and Vergil. My argument will, I hope, advance the conversation about the role and value of canonical literature in its own historical moment and today.
The event is co-sponsored by the Classical Studies Department, History Department and College of Letters.

November 2018
Symposium—Between Art and Asset: Silver Vessels from Antiquity to Today<https://classics.fas.harvard.edu/boston-area-classics-calendar?trumbaEmbed=…>
Sat., Nov. 3, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.
HARVARD ART MUSEUMS, 32 Quincy Street, Cambridge, MA 02138
Silver vessels have been prized possessions in many cultures, both ancient and modern. Some of the most elaborate vessels in the Animal-Shaped Vessels from the Ancient World: Feasting with Gods, Heroes, and Kings exhibition are fashioned from silver. What makes this material attractive for artists, and what makes drinking from silver vessels pleasant to the palate? Which intangible qualities have promoted the material’s use? How has appreciation of the vessels been influenced by the fact that silver often served as bullion and coins—and hence could be “cashed in”? This symposium will bring together art historians, a conservator, a numismatist, and a silversmith to explore these and related questions, including the function and uses of precious metal vessels, the role of craftsmanship, the symbolic qualities of silver, and silver’s relationship to other luxury materials. The presentations will focus on the ancient Mediterranean and Near East, the Byzantine world, China, and the Americas.
Speakers:
Angela Chang, Conservator of Objects and Sculpture, Head of the Objects Lab, and Assistant Director of the Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies at the Harvard Art Museums
Henry Colburn, Andrew W. Mellon Curatorial Fellow in Ancient Near Eastern Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
Eurydice Georganteli, Lecturer on History of Art and Architecture and Medieval Studies in the Department of History of Art and Architecture at Harvard University
Kenneth Lapatin, Curator of Antiquities at the J. Paul Getty Museum
Ethan Lasser, Theodore Stebbins Jr. Curator of American Art and Head of the Division of European and American Art at the Harvard Art Museums
François Louis, Associate Professor and Director of Doctoral Studies at the Bard Graduate Center
Joanne Pillsbury, Andrall E. Pearson Curator of Ancient American Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art
Adam Whitney, Silversmith
The symposium will take place in Menschel Hall, Lower Level. Please enter the museums via the entrance on Broadway. Doors will open at 9:30am.
Free admission, but seating is limited.
Complimentary parking available in the Broadway Garage, 7 Felton Street, Cambridge.

“Ocean in Greek and Roman Myth and Thought.”
Ocean was a unique figure in ancient mythology, both a god and a physical entity that could be sailed on or pictured on maps. Aeschylus famously depicted him on stage in “Prometheus Bound,” riding on a flying sea monster. The problem of Ocean troubled geographers, artists and poets throughout Greco-Roman antiquity. This illustrated talk will examine some of the solutions they found and the ideas they generated.”
