Return of the Gods - To the Tate on Friday
A night of Greek gods and goddesses, with myth and religion. You will have dance, expression and storytelling on Greek deities, surrounded by their fabulous sculptural and painterly sexiness around you, cos it's at the Tate. It's a sort of 'happening' on the theme of Greek gods and goddesses, with dance, talks, food, drinks, and swanning around the museum. It is from 6pm - 10pm, THIS Friday.

One treat for me is that there will be a few gallery talks by Professor Mary Beard, Cambridge Professor of Classics who is lively, curious and immensely knowledgeable. I keep trying to get her to talk at Treadwell's, in fact. Let me know if you are going, so we can meet up perhaps in one of the bars or at Mary Beard's 7pm talk....

Argh! I have a book by her! Sounds like a great event! Can't wait to hear that you have snagged her for a talk!

Thanks, a bit less hassle to get to for me than the other one (I always get lost).

I love this: Mary Beard has been called ‘a wickedly subversive commentator on the ancient world’

I am planning to go to Professor Beard's gallery talk "Myths behind the Marble" at 7.30 at the Duveen Gallery. Join me if you care to -- tickets are *free*, and you get them from the Millbank Information Desk from 6pm. Other times of her talks are: 6.30, 7.00, 7.30 & 8.00

Damn. Just a few weeks too early. I'll be practically bunking at the Tate soon.
