History remains in our memory for the great events. But also for the small stories with small letters and legends. The latter include myths, which help us to explain our western culture and its behaviors, heroism, generosity, selfishness, bravery, envy... The gods of Olympus and the heroes of classical antiquity are the protagonists of a fascinating series of myths that never cease to amaze us. In this event, Emilio del Río will talk about modernity and the validity of myths in our lives, in conversation with the writer and journalist Carlos Aganzo.
Del Río holds a PhD in Classical Philology from the Complutense University of Madrid, is an academic, writer, and professor of Latin Language and Linguistics at the Complutense University of Madrid. His program on RNE Verba Volant has been among the favorites of the radio cultural scene for more than a decade; he is the author of successful books such as Latin lovers, Calamares a la romana and Locos por los clásicos. Aganzo is the author of some twenty books of poetry and as many travel books. He has been director of Diario de Ávila and El Norte de Castilla and is currently director of the Vocento Foundation.
