ancient greek symposium
2+ hour* online themed celebration
for friends and families
with an Ithacan host
Nothing about the ancient myths and legends is accidental,
everything hid a logical reason, a little wisdom.
Story-telling was not just an entertainment or another show,
but part of life itself with deep, meaningful cultural variations.
Today the Odyssey, apart from a marvelous piece of literature, is a revelation:
Ancient Greek daily life, customs, ethos, worship, philosophy,
and many other aspects of human consciousness,
even of the human spirit itself emerge from its pages as winged words.
Let’s discover together the magic of an Ancient Greek Symposium:
we will put on our chitons,
prepare our long drinks according to the ancient recipe of kykeon,
listen to the majestic lyre playing long forgotten tunes,
discuss about the everyday life of the Ancients
and solve an ancient mystery
in a 2*-hour of immersion in the Ancient Greek civilization.
