In Search of the Real Women behind Homer’s Myths

Join classicist Emily Hauser for a powerful exploration of ancient women’s lives and legacies. Through myth, archaeology, and storytelling, she reveals how reclaiming forgotten voices can reshape our understanding of history - and inspire change today. 

Classicist and novelist Emily Hauser invites us to reimagine the ancient world through the eyes of its forgotten women. Drawing on her research and fiction, she explores how figures like Helen, Circe, and Penelope were shaped by myth - and how new archaeological discoveries and feminist scholarship are revealing the real lives behind the legends.

This talk delves into the power of storytelling, the politics of memory, and the urgent need to rewrite history from the margins. With lyrical insight and scholarly depth, Hauser shows how recovering women’s voices from Homer’s world can reshape our understanding of the past - and inspire new stories for the future.
