Please join us for an evening with world traveling professor and author Dr. Nick Catalano. On Tuesday, January 24 at 6:00 p.m., Dr. Catalano will discuss Greece: A Modern Odyssey. Come and participate in an exploration into the ancient ruins of one of the world’s most influential civilizations.
Dr. Catalano is a professor of literature and music at Pace University and Performing Arts Director. Each year he takes students to Greece and the Isles where they walk in ancient footsteps and lean against the very pillars beneath which the original concepts of Western civilization were conceived, and ply the mythical waters.
At this exciting lecture he will discuss the ancient disciplines – art, science, philosophy, medicine, and literature – that exploded following the initial intellectual revolution in classical Greece. He will also talk about his first-hand experience in his yearly explorations of the site of ruins of the ancient Greek temple of Poseidon, the god of the sea in classical mythology, and the historical setting of the epic of Homer and other ancient Greek literature and myths.
Dr. Catalano is the author of two books: New York Nights: Writing Producing and Performing in Gotham, and a biography, Clifford Brown: The Life and Art of the Legendary Jazz Trumpeter.
