The Monmouth College Department of Classics presents the Thirty-Fourth Annual Bernice L. Fox Classics Lecture |
|
|
This lecture series was established in 1985 to
honor Dr.
Bernice L. Fox, who taught Classics at Monmouth College
from 1947 until 1981. The goal of this series is to illustrate
the continuing importance of Classical studies in the modern
world and the intersection of the Classics with other
disciplines in the liberal arts. |

 Political leaders from Alexander the Great to Vladimir Putin have often identified themselves with the Greco-Roman hero Hercules in various media. This broad historical survey includes identification of Roman emperors, Medici rulers, American presidents and other prominent figures as Hercules in such media as coins, painting, sculpture, and editorial cartoons. These representations are analyzed and the associations with Hercules explained. |
