"Gods and Robots: Myths and Ancient Dreams of Technology"
Who first imagined robots? As early as Homer, Greek myths envisioned automated servants,
self-moving devices, and AI—and grappled with ethical concerns about technology. This talk
explores how some of today’s most advanced innovations in robotics and AI were
foreshadowed in classical antiquity.
Adrienne Mayor is a research scholar in the Classics Department and the History and
Philosophy of Science Program, Stanford University. Her most recent book is Gods and
Robots: Myths, Machines, and Ancient Dreams of Technology. Other books include The First
Fossil Hunters; Greek Fire, Poison Arrows, and Scorpion Bombs: Biological and Chemical
Warfare in the Ancient World; The Amazons: Lives and Legends of Warrior Women; and a
biography of Mithradates, The Poison King (National Book Award finalist).
Sponsored by the Harvard Divinity School Center for the Study of World Religions and the
Harvard University Department of the Classics.
