About this event
Humans have been looking up at the stars in wonder since we became self-aware.
In ancient times it was believed that the stars were the messengers of the Gods and that they held great wisdom.
The Greeks believed the Olympians put those people, animals and objects in the heavens for a reason, they served as unmistakable lessons on proper behaviour. Often, entire stories play out across the sky, traced from one constellation to the next.
Join us as we discuss the heavens from an ancient and philosophical perspective.
