Description
The Ancient Greek verb ἀριστᾶν, depending on the period or author, can either mean to have breakfast or to have lunch, etymologically it is not related with the Ancient Greek noun ἀρετή (virtue), or with the superlative form of ἀγαθός, ie., ἄριστος, ἀρίστη, ἄριστον. The sonorous resemblance, however, is not only suitable for a pun, but it also provides an excellent opportunity for taking what David Fiedeler intended with his book Breakfast with Seneca, and Ryan Holiday with Daily Stoic one step further. Except that Triodos-Trivium will be doing it in Ancient Greek.
You are welcome to join and get better at what it presupposes to be a human according to Stoic philosophy, while having breakfast, lunch or even dinner, depending on your timezone.
It will be an online free webinar. Twice a week I will be reading and explaining in Ancient Greek for 45 minutes Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations, sometimes alone, and sometimes there might be friends jumping in to read and discuss the text.
When?
Tuesdays and Fridays 2:00 pm Central European Time,
starting April 18 on our Youtube channel.
