“The Grimm Sisters,” the popular culture podcast from Galei Tzahal (IDF Radio), will be recorded live at the Bible Lands Museum Jerusalem!
Noa Manheim, editor and cultural essayist, and Ayelet Triest, editor and presenter at Galei Tzahal, are celebrating the 300th episode of “The Grimm Sisters”, their cultural podcast, and launching their Greek mythology season with a special live event in front of an audience at the museum.
In 480 BCE, the armies of the Hellenic alliance, commanded by Leonidas, King of Sparta, faced the vastly superior forces of Xerxes I, King of Persia.
The story of the 300 Spartan warriors who held the narrow pass became a myth in its own right, and the outcome of the battle established an image in Western culture that would accompany it and, to a large extent, shape its identity.
During the event, we will discuss the values of Greece compared to those of Persia, the great clash of cultures between them, and the rise of Athens as the cradle of Western civilization.
Admission to the event, the museum, and the exhibition “As Soon as the War Is Over,” which presents the stories of some of the fiercest and most famous battles in the region’s history, is free with advance registration.
Doors open at 18:30. Admission is free with advance registration.
Event Duration: 1.5 hours
At 18:00, a guided tour of the exhibition “As Soon as the War Is Over” will take place, exploring the stories of some of the fiercest and most famous battles in the region’s history, at a reduced price of NIS 25.
