Katie Lentakis Memorial Fund Award ceremony

The Council Room, Kings College London. In partnership with King’s CHS and Classics Department and the Foundation for Platonic Studies.

We are pleased to announce the annual award ceremony and lecture for the Katie Lentakis Memorial Fund Award 2026. The Award is given annually by the Anglo-Hellenic League in memory of Katie Lentakis, for many years a stalwart of the London Greek community and a longstanding Vice-Chair of the League.

The competition is open to final-year undergraduates at King’s College London for an essay on a Greek subject.

The ceremony will be an opportunity to applaud and meet the winner of the competition.

In addition, the Department of Classics at King’s College London will be awarding the fourth Mary Margaret McCabe Dissertation Prize in Ancient Philosophy.

The speaker will be Professor Melissa Lane (Princeton University), whose presentation titled ‘Plato’s Republic on Motivating (Ecological) Guardianship’, draws on Plato’s Republic to explore how people can be educated so as to truly care about what it is right to do, bringing this perspective to bear on the challenges of ecology.
