Many thanks to Mr Yannis Dramitinos from KOSMOS newspaper for recording, editing, and uploading the videos from our 'Greek Identity Throughout History' event held with the blessing of His Eminence Archbishop Makarios of Australia, on 1st November at our parish. The talks covered Greek Identity from ancient times, through Byzantium, to modernity. This video includes the opening of the event by the Very Revd Fr Evagrios Koutouzis, Vicar-General of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia (representing His Eminence on the night), along with the first talk by Dr Sonia Pertsinides (Lecturer and Convenor of Ancient Greek in the Centre for Classical Studies at the Australian National University), who spoke about ‘Key aspects of Greek identity in Homer’s Odyssey.’ We hope you enjoy! NB: The next three talks will be shared as they are uploaded.
