Talks & Lectures "Leto" but not Letocetum!
Talk at Erasmus Darwin House presented by Sundeep Braich.
About this event
Event info
What's in a name? Join Sundeep Braich as she explores the prefix "Leto" in Letocetum, the Roman name for a settlement near Lichfield. While Letocetum officially has no connection to the Greek goddess Leto, the prefix sparks curiosity.
Could the Romans have considered the connection to Leto too?
Why did Leto's pregnancy with Artemis and Apollo challenge Hera, the queen of the gods and guardian of marriage? Are you intrigued by the brewing conflict between these two powerful goddesses, Leto and Hera?
Tickets £10 includes tea/coffee.
