The Parthenon Through the Ages: From Ancient Rituals to Modern Controversies

Saturday, March 23, 1 – 2 PM via Zoom (Free, suggested $10 donation)

Originally built in the 5th century B.C., the Parthenon in Athens has undergone many evolutions over the past two and a half millennia, from temple, to church, to mosque, to armory, and finally, to the tourism site and national symbol of Greece that it is today. In this talk, Allison Grenda (PhD Candidate in the History of Art at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor) will trace the history of the monument and explore how its architectural and ideological changes have repeatedly placed it at the center of conflict, controversy, and most recently, debates over cultural patrimony.

This talk is part of the Pence Gallery’s online Art History Lecture Series.
