National Hellenic Museum Online Discussions

NHM Discussions are free online classes uniting scholars and enthusiasts for conversations on Greek history, culture, and more. Topics span mythology, art, philosophy, and diaspora. NHM Discussions is generously sponsored by the Hellenic Foundation.

<p>Join us to uncover the layered history of Santorini, one of Greece’s most iconic islands. Beneath its postcard beauty lies a complex past shaped by volcanic catastrophe, ancient civilizations, piracy, empire, and modern tourism. This talk traces Santorini’s story from the Bronze Age eruption that reshaped the Aegean through its medieval and Ottoman periods to its transformation into a global destination. We will explore how geology, myth, and human resilience intersect on the island, and how Santorini’s history challenges simplistic narratives of timeless Greek beauty.</p>
