Discover a unique area rich in history
Been to the Parthenon, done the center? Find out about an area close to the center with a rich but disturbing history. After arriving at the main square of Kessariani (a short taxi ride from the center or on the 224 bus), I will meet you and take you to a picturesque square just one street away to tell you the first part of my story about the area which starts in 1922. After this, we will commence on a circular walk with me pointing out different places and sights along the way. The talk is divided into four parts, generally going in chronological order and as we proceed you will see traces of the past and be able to visualize what life was like. There were not only immeasurable hardships for the inhabitants, but they created a close-knit community through hard won victories. Arriving destitute as refugees from Asia Minor and building new lives from scratch, the people of Kessariani were admirably resistant and brought with them a new and vibrant way of life. The tour will take an hour and a half and we will arrive back at the square we started from.
Sex Marriage Courtesans & Pederasty in Ancient Greece
The Ancient Greeks are known for their advancements in philosophy, politics, art, literature, and many more, but the ancient people also had a number of sexual practices that may be considered strange today. Many think of ancient Greece as a free-for-all society, and in certain respects, it truly was when it comes to sexual relationships. However, there were many social norms, unspoken traditions, and rules which most of us today are unaware of. I’ve compiled for us to discuss a list of facts that perfectly depict what sex and sexuality were like in ancient Greece. We will be looking into marriage, prostitution and pederasty as the main areas of sexual expression of the ancients both in Athens and Sparta. We will do that through story telling and Q&A in a relaxing mode enjoying our coffee or cocktail.
