About the Event
Led by Eleanor Sypher; we will meet the jealous vengeful and proud Greek Gods and Goddesses: all-powerful Zeus and bad-tempered Hera, his wife; and others—Poseidon and some sea monsters; Athena and her stratagems; unfaithful and gorgeous Aphrodite; Hephaestus, the brilliant metal worker; murderous Artemis and her brother golden Apollo; Hermes the trickster; cowardly Ares; wild Dionysus; loyal Demeter; generous Hestia; and the underworld of righteous Hades.
About the Speaker
Recently returned to Greenwich Village, a few steps away from the venerated Salmagundi Club, Eleanor K. Sypher has volunteered her extensive skills in a series of talks on art history, first enjoyed at Arizona State University and a local art center for the past six years. Eleanor is well-acquainted with ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, Byzantium, The Italian Renaissance, The Baroque in Italy and Holland, Rococo in France, the Impressionists, and European and American artists of the 20th and 21st centuries.
Eleanor holds a B.A. in English from Smith College; and an M.A. in Latin and Ph.D. In Greek and Latin from Columbia University. Employment in New York included teaching, book editing and directing a foundation for 25 years. Earlier volunteer work involved founding a charter school in the South Bronx and fundraising for that school and a church.
