The Phoenicians Strike Back!
Carolina López-Ruiz, Professor of Ancient Mediterranean Religions and Mythology in the Divinity School and the Department of Classics, University of Chicago

Revisit the Phoenicians in Iberia and celebrate ISAC’s participation in the Málaga project as we welcome Carolina López-Ruiz, Professor of Ancient Mediterranean Religions and Mythology in the Divinity School and the Department of Classics. López-Ruiz’s research centers around comparative mythology and cultural exchange in the ancient Mediterranean, exploring the idea that mythological narratives and religious practices act as loci for cultural exchange and provide mechanisms for groups in close contact to negotiate tensions, adopt to change, and bolster their resilience.

    Dear Professor López-Ruiz, this video has changed my life. My whole outlook on everything that exists in this world, in fact even in the entire universe. I can never look at anything I know the same way ever again. This video represents emotions most humans could never comprehend. But I can. Thanks to this video I have been awakened to many things previously thought unimaginable. Thank you.

    Thank you for posting this interesting lecture. It's a shame Dr López-Ruiz had to rush through her presentation so quickly, and also that there was no Q&A at the end. Still, better this quick overview of the site than no lecture at all, so again, thanks for sharing it with us.
