Natalie Haynes, ‘The Children of Jocasta’

The British School at Athens Lecture

Natalie Haynes is a writer and broadcaster. She writes for both the Guardian and the Independent. She has spoken on the modern relevance of the classical world on three continents, from Cambridge to Chicago to Auckland. In this talk, she will explore her recent novel ‘The Children of Jocasta’ in which she reimagines the Oedipus and Antigone stories from the perspectives of two of the women who have often been overlooked: retelling the myth to reveal a new side of an ancient story.

This event is free to attend, with a suggested donation of £15. Bookings are required to gauge numbers. Please RSVP to Kate Smith: bsa@britac.ac.uk
