Lecture on similarities with Ancient Greece and Indigenous Australia held in Sydney

·

A lecture on the uncharted similarities between Ancient Greek myths and Indigenous Australia Dreaming was held at the University of Sydney’s Madsen Building on Wednesday, March 8.

The lecture, titled Cross Hatchings between Ancient Greece and Indigenous Australia, was given by Dr Vassilis Adrahtas and was co-hosted by the Consulate General of Greece in Sydney and the Australian Archaeological Institute at Athens.

During his lecture, Dr Adrahtas focused on how although Ancient Greece and Indigenous Australia are geographically and historically far apart, they present an amazing array of similarities in their underlying hierophanics.

The room was filled with interested attendees including the Consul General of Greece in Sydney, Ioannis Mallikourtis; the Trade Commissioner of Greece in Australia, Chrysa Prokopaki; Aunty Glenda Humes, the daughter of Indigenous ANZAC Captain Reginald Saunders; and renowned author Kate Forsyth.
