The Canisius Adult Lifelong Learning Institute invites you to join a set of six dynamic discussions about ancient Greek tragedies. The class began September 22, but there’s still time to join! The class meets via Teams Tuesdays between Noon and 1 PM EST.
Professor Johanna Fisher from the English Department oversees the course.
As Prof. Fisher says, “This course is envisioned as a two-part exploration of fifth and fourth century BCE Greek tragedies and comedies from Sophocles to Aeschylus to Euripides, from to Aristophanes and Menander. While these dramas were inspired by Homer’s, The Iliad and The Odyssey, they featured reimagines heroic figures of the poems.
We will begin with a reading of selected tragedies in the fall session and conclude with the comedies in the spring session. We begin with an introduction to ancient Greek theatre and its importance to the political, environmental, and cultural life of Greece. We will also discuss the important questions the plays ask, such as what is justice and ethics, questions about power, fate. Immigration, and profound human suffering. Each session will begin with my suggestions of ways into the readings as well as historical/geographical contexts for each of the plays. This is followed by an open discussion in which your insights, questions and considerations will be shared with the group.”

The exhibit will be on view in the Peter A. and Mary Lou Vogt Gallery in the Bouwhuis Library until December 11, 2026.As noted by the artist, who works in the Student Records and Financial Services offices, “Even when time didn’t permit traditional studio work, my eye and my passion remained rooted in making and simply creating. Now, returning fully to the canvas across oils, watercolors, and pastels, this exhibition brings those years of expression together. It is a celebration of bold color, enduring passion, and the joy of finally having the time and space to let these vibrant works bloom.” This event is free and open to the public.
