The Conversation: Natalie Haynes on demand
Watch until Sunday 1 September
The Conversation is a series of talks bringing together an interview format, livestreamed for those that cannot attend in person.
The Conversation series finale sees the rockstar classicist Natalie Haynes celebrate the goddesses of Greek myth in her new book Divine Might. Here are Hera, Athene and Aphrodite in all their vengeful superpower and the brighter gifts of Hestia, Demeter and Persephone. The swaggering dash of Beyoncé thrown in reminds us of the contemporary weight of Natalie’s retelling of feminist perspectives in the novels A Thousand Ships, The Children of Jocasta, The Amber Fury and Stone Blind and the non-fiction best-seller Pandora’s Jar. All eight seasons of the BBC Radio 4 show Natalie Haynes Stands Up for the Classics are available wherever you get your podcasts. Chaired by Peter Florence.
How to watch the talk on demand
The talk is available to watch as many times as you like until Sunday 1 September. Your access details will be included in your ticket, along with instructions of how to view it online.
