Part of their attraction comes from the fact that they acted (often badly) like humans, displaying traits of character we can all recognise with lives featuring plots, adventures and relationships. Just as important is the fact that they, and the narratives that embodied them, were represented, not just in grand temple sculptures but in paintings and mosaics, on vases and domestic items. So we know how they were envisaged – and we go on knowing as their representation has continued through the Christian period, with different styles, functions and meanings, and still flourishes in contemporary popular culture.A Gail-Nina Anderson LectureTalk 2 of 3Gods of our World.Apollo and Artemis (sun and moon), Demeter, Athena and Pan(Apollo and Diana [sun and moon], Ceres, Minerva and Faunus)These are the gods of visible territory – the sum and moon, the cycle of the seasons, the wild woodlands and Greece itself.Priority booking for members for series until 26th JanuaryA LIVE Lit & Phil Event | £5(If you would prefer to book directly over the phone, please call the Library Desk team on 0191 232 0192 and they will be happy to help) - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/newcastle-upon-tyne/imagining-the-olympians-|-gods-of-our-world/100001977305629365 - **Event Categories**: art, fine-arts, trips-adventures - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 6.13, max: 6.13, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Newcastle Upon Tyne - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: The Lit & Phil - **lat**: 54.9694099 - **long**: -1.614005 - **full address**: The Lit & Phil, 23 Westgate Road, Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Imagining the Olympians | Gods of our World - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/006dbae48caf8c8fa37f760acc5c97fd66adc43cad40fa5e14bc30d1769141a8-rimg-w1200-h506-dcffffff-gmir.jpg?v=1771131707 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Imagining the Olympians | Gods of our World being held? - **A:** Imagining the Olympians | Gods of our World takes place on Thu, 05 Mar, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Thu, 05 Mar, 2026 at 07:00 pm at The Lit & Phil, 23 Westgate Road, Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Imagining the Olympians | Gods of our World? - **A:** Tickets for Imagining the Olympians | Gods of our World are priced at GBP 6 per person.
