NORMA KERSHAW AUDITORIUM | LECTURE

Presented by Dr. Lingxin Zhang, a specialist in the languages and cultures of Graeco-Roman Egypt (3rd century BCE–4th century CE)

In first-century Roman Egypt, astrology shaped how people understood their destinies, influencing beliefs about health, character, and social standing. Through ancient astrological texts and Egyptian wisdom literature, this presentation examines how scribes grappled with questions of fate, free will, and the power of the stars to determine the course of human life. Learn how these ancient beliefs shaped ideas about personal agency and whether men and women were thought to have equal control over their destinies.
