Is being a tyrant good for you?

Wed 27 March

Museum of Classical Archaeology

Being subject to a Greek tyrant was bad, but was being a tyrant yourself good if you could get away with it? Join Il-Kweon Sir for this lunchtime foray into those early Greek lyric poets who, living in the age of tyrants, explore the almost irresistible allure of tyranny – but also its dangers.

This is a Cambridge Festival event. The event is free but booking is required. The talk will last 30 minutes, plus 15 minutes for questions.
