The Auckland Classical Association presents a talk by Associate Professor Anne Mackay on Tuesday, 4 November 2008, 7.30 pm at the Old Government House, Federation of Graduate Women’s rooms.

Associate Professor Anne Mackay:  “A Real Labyrinth: Bronze Age Archaeological Sites in Crete .”  The Aegean bronze age is often regarded as the time when many Greek myths were born, and it has been suggested that the labyrinthine structures of Minoan palaces might have been the foundation of the story of how Theseus of Athens overcame the Minotaur in Knossos .  Associate Professor Anne Mackay spent some time while on study leave photographing a number of bronze age sites in Crete, and her illustrated talk will take the form of a guided tour around some of the more interesting bronze age sites that were occupied in the second millennium BC, includingwell-known places like Knossos and Phaistos, but also some of the smaller, more out-of-the-way locations.

The President of the Association Mr. Gregory J. Thwaite, extends an invitation to all the members of the Hellenic Community of Auckland, to this event.
