Italian Learners Meet Up in DC
Ciao!
Sono felice di comunicarvi che sarò a Washington DC domenica 19 aprile per fare una passeggiata e incontrare alcuni di voi per un caffé e una chiacchierata in italiano/inglese.
Questo evento è aperto a tutti e non è a pagamento. Si accettano donazioni all'insegnante per sostenere questo gruppo, questi incontri e questa piccola comunità.
Se ti va, passa fra le 5:30 e 7:30 pm per fare amicizia e parlare italiano. Magari fare una passeggiata se è bel tempo. aDiscuteremo anche della possibilità di viaggiare e studiare in italia quest'anno o l'anno prossimo :)
A presto,
Marty

Legacy of the Minoans
Sunday, April 19, 2026 - Luncheon at 2 pm; Lecture at 3 pm
**Legacy of the Minoans**
**Emily Anderson - Johns Hopkins University**
Sponsored by the Hellenic Society Prometheas
Crete’s Minoan civilization was Europe’s first great Bronze Age society. Crete hosted magnificent palaces, including the labyrinth at Knossos, and Minoan art and traditions that profoundly influenced the Mediterranean world.
The language of Minoan Crete is unknown, and their scripts, such as Linear A, have eluded translation since Sir Arthur Evans first excavated in Crete in 1900.
Named after the mythological King Minos, Crete’s Minoan landscape serves as the setting for countless legends, including the birthplace of Zeus, the labyrinth where Theseus killed the Minotaur and the prison that Daedalus and Icarus fled with their ill-fated wings.
How did Minoan society rise from small isolated farms to state-level palatial society with "international" prominence? Professor Anderson’s detailed exploration of the uniqueness and trajectory of Minoan Crete within the eastern Mediterranean will focus on the role of trade and exchange, seafaring, craft, politics, art and religion, and how these were all entwined.
This event is sponsored by the Hellenic Society Prometheas
Luncheon at 2 pm; Lecture at 3 pm
This event will be held at Yayla Bistro:
2201 N. Westmoreland street / Arlington, VA 22213
