Sebastien Lockwood presents an OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute) short course at Granite State College telling the extraordinary story of “Caesar: The Man from Venus.”
Experience the performance and discussion of this remarkable story. This is a storyteller’s telling of the life of Caesar, a life formed by a circle of extraordinary women: mother, aunt, wives, daughter and mistress, and Cleopatra. This man is a philosopher, historian, writer, engineer, architect, politician, and the greatest general in history. Caesar sees himself as descended from the Goddess Venus on his father’s side and the Tarquin Kings of old on his mother’s side. We meet Caesar in the apartment building his mother owns in Rome and follow his meteoric rise to become the first amongst men: the most powerful man in the world. No period in history has been better recorded. An extensive reading list will be offered.
