Goddesses, Vampyres, and Archaeologists

Penn Museum presents a virtual tour of Mytilene, one of the most famous and wealthy cities of the northeastern Aegean. Two areas are featured: a sanctuary of the fertility goddesses, Demeter and Kore; and a site that contained material ranging from an 18th-century Ottoman cemetery with a vampire burial to imported fine painted pottery from just after the time of Sappho.

6:15 p.m. - 7:15 p.m.
