To the majority of us today, Zeus, Hera, Athena, and their like, are nothing more than the remnants of ancient myth and legend.  To the Ancient Greeks, however, they were a part of history, religion, and reality.  Let us consider the roles that these figures played in the shaping of Greek decision making.  This lecture is designed to help us comprehend the culture, history, and most importantly, the mindset of a people that are not to be forgotten.  Lecture and discussion to be presented by Professor Alex Clemente.
