Sather Classical Lectures

The Sather Classical Lectures are a prestigious annual series hosted by the University of California, Berkeley, that features renowned scholars discussing important topics in classical studies, including ancient history, literature, archaeology, and philosophy. Established in 1946, these lectures aim to promote understanding of classical civilizations and their influence on the modern world. Delivered publicly and often published afterward, they serve as a platform for advancing knowledge and scholarly dialogue in the humanities, attracting students, academics, and the general public interested in deepening their appreciation of classical culture and its enduring legacy.
