With Dr Steve Kershaw, classicist

On this exclusive out-of-hours tour, Steve will discuss depictions of mythical figures in some of the greatest works of art from antiquity, replicated in the Ashmolean's magnificent collection of historic casts.

Don't miss this opportunity to delve deeper into the characters and myths from antiquity during this tour of the Museum's Cast Gallery.

These stories are ever popular with Christopher Nolan's version of Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey, coming to screens soon, and the upcoming launch of the Ashmolean's next major exhibition Aphrodite: The making of a Goddess coming in October.
