Bettany Hughes: Aphrodite Uncovered 2027

Date: Monday, 1 February 2027
Venue: Conway Hall, Holborn, London

The Anglo-Hellenic League presents Aphrodite Uncovered, an evening with historian and broadcaster Bettany Hughes.

Hughes has spent years tracing the goddess from her roots in Cyprus, her mythical birthplace, through the ancient world and on to the present day. Expect a lively talk that brings together archaeology, myth and art to show a far more complex Aphrodite than the modern image suggests.

It is a great night for anyone interested in ancient Greece and Cyprus, and a chance to hear one of Britain’s best known historians of the Greek world in person.

The evening runs from 19:00 to 21:30. League members attend free. Non members pay £7, and students and retired guests £3.50, plus booking fee.
