Reading and Discussion on Female Archetypes in Classical Mythology

The event 'Deesses i arquetips femenins a la mitologia clàssica' invites you to delve into how classical antiquity has shaped contemporary views on female archetypes, from the warrior maiden to the sacrificing mother, the seductress, the witch, and the muse. During this narrative reading and iconographic analysis, participants will examine various myths that have defined these persistent and often problematic female models. Attendees will discuss how these archetypes have been represented, transformed, and adapted over time, reflecting their ongoing influence in modern literature, television series, and even video games. The session will be led by Professor Cèlia Leiva, providing insights into the ways these historical narratives continue to resonate today.
