Creature Feature: Heroes and Hogs in Ancient Greece
In this talk, archaeologist Sarah Eisen will explore how pigs were part of everyday life in ancient Greece and how their ferocious relative the wild boar challenged heroes like Odysseus and Herakles.
Creature Feature, an online series from the Harvard Art Museums, offers a chance for families to explore magical creatures across the collections through close looking and curious exploration with museum staff. Creature Feature talks are free, open to explorers ages 6 and up, and offered once a month on Zoom.
