MARY BEARD | Why the Classics Today are Better than Ever Before | Paideia Institute Arete Award Gala

At the Paideia Institute's 2024 Arete Award Gala, Dame Mary Beard, OBE reflects on the transformative wonder of seeing antiquity up close, and how the field of Classics today is made more interesting and promising than ever before by "different questions from different places". Professor Beard and Dr. Thomas P. Sculco, Surgeon-in-Chief Emeritus at the Hospital for Special Surgery, are the 2024 recipients of the Arete Award, established in 2018 by the Paideia Institute and the Arete Foundation to recognize individuals who have had an outstanding impact on the field of Classics. We give the award to two honorees annually: a distinguished academic classicist, and a passionate supporter of the Classics who has gone on to success in other fields. The Paideia Institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting the study of the classical humanities. Since 2010, we have pursued that mission through travel programs, outreach to expand access to the classics, publications, curriculum development and digital language learning. Each year we teach the classics to more than 2,000 students of every age group, making us one of the largest organizations in our mission area. https://www.paideiainstitute.org/
