On Tuesday 10 November 2026 the BA Program in the Archaeology, History, and Literature of Ancient Greece (BAAG) held its annual Pallas Athena Lecture in the Ioannis Drakopoulos Auditorium of the NKUA Central Building. The lecture, “Ten Ways Aristotle Shaped the Modern World”, was given by Edith Hall, Professor at the University of Durham.
Edith Hall FBA has been Professor in the Department of Classics and Ancient History at Durham University since 2022, after posts at Oxford, Cambridge, Royal Holloway and King’s College London. She works on ancient Greek literature and cultural history; on Aristotle she wrote Aristotle’s Way and leads the Leverhulme-funded research project “Aristotle beyond the Academy”. Her book Facing Down the Furies won the 2024 International Hellenic Prize.
BAAG is the first undergraduate program at a Greek university taught entirely in English. A four-year degree of the NKUA School of Philosophy, running since 2020, it combines archaeology, ancient history and ancient Greek literature, with much of its teaching held at monuments, archaeological sites and museums. The Program hosts the Pallas Athena Lecture every year. More information: https://baag.uoa.gr/
