The Torture of Prometheus

Thu, February 22, 2018 • 12:00pm - 1:00pm (1h) • LDC 104

Building on his earlier work ('The Athenian Rationale for Torture,' on why it made sense to the Athenians to torture slaves), David Mirhady, Professor of Classics, Simon Fraser University, will consider the question of why it did not make sense to torture free people, and other ramifications of Athenian thinking about action or speech under compulsion.
