The Greeks Rule! How the Greeks Shaped Our Perception of Ancient
Egypt
Speaker: Dr. Steven B. Shubert, SSEA
Wednesday, July 16, 2008 | 7:00 pm
Room 323, 4 Bancroft Ave, Toronto, Ontario, Canada [MAP]
Our understanding of ancient Egypt has been shaped by a framework
provided by such ancient Greek sources as Manetho, Plutarch, Diodorus
and Herodotus. Steven B. Shubert has worked on archaeological digs in
both Egypt and Greece and has studied both the ancient Egyptian and
ancient Greek languages. In this lecture he will explore how and why
much of our Egyptological vocabulary is derived from the work of
ancient Greek historians. Come and examine the Greek origins of the
Dynastic system, the names of gods, kings, cities, and many other
terms integral to the study of Egyptology.
The third in the Toronto Chapter's new Summer Series of popular
lectures free to members of The SSEA. A $5 fee is requested from non-
members. Light refreshments will be served.
About The Speaker:
Dr. Shubert has doctorates in both Egyptology and Libary & Information
Sciences. He also has had many years of experience digging in Egypt at
both East Karnak and Mendes and is the author of numerous articles.
Steven is currently on the Executive of the Toronto Chapter of the
SSEA as a Lecture Series Coordinator and is a past Treasurer and
Trustee of the Society.
