SUMMARY:The Trial of Pericles
DESCRIPTION:The National Hellenic Museum (NHM) shares Greek history and illuminates its relevance to the present. To this end\, our annual Trial series takes famous legal cases from Greek history and tries them before an audience to demonstrate the enduring relevance of these ancient disputes. This year\, we are excited to present The Trial of Pericles on Wednesday\, April 17 at 7:00 PM at the Harris Theater in Chicago. Please click here for a preview of the event. \nThe Trial of Pericles will pose this question: Was Pericles a hero or a tyrant? Although he is known as a great Athenian statesman and a guardian of Athenian democracy\, Pericles garnered enemies when he altered the Athenian Constitution to revoke the citizenship of those without two Athenian parents\, claiming this was necessary to protect Athens from foreign interference. Pericles’ actions erased citizenship rights for numerous Athenians\, including the right to vote.

SUMMARY:Aurora Greek Festival
DESCRIPTION:Aurora Greek Fest offers a taste of Greek hospitality\, culture and most importantly delicious Greek food! \nSt. Athanasios Greek Orthodox Church hosts this semi-annual festival which runs for a long weekend every May and November\, attracting thousands of guests from Aurora and the surrounding suburbs. \nNow in its 25th year\, the Aurora Greek Fest is much more than a cultural event for the families of St. Athanasios Greek Orthodox Church. It is an opportunity to share a part of ourselves with the community. Who we are. Where we come from. What we believe. \nAs you enjoy our excellent cooking\, we invite you all inside our beautiful parish to receive a “taste” of our religious heritage which was founded in Christ and passed down to us without interruption for nearly 2\,000 years. \nAdmission is free and we have plenty of parking. We look forward to seeing you this May!
