On this episode of Sentience, we welcome Dr. Thomas Jenkins, Professor of Classical Studies at Trinity University and former Director of the Collaborative for Learning and Teaching. Dr. Jenkins is a specialist in how ancient classics manifest in contemporary media like television, novels and video games. In their discussion, among other subjects of classical antiquity, host Kyle Gillette and Dr. Jenkins examine his most recent project: a new translation of “Agamemnon”, the first part of Aeschylus’ trilogy The Oresteia. “Agamemnon” productions, directed by Dr. Gillette, will be shown from February 16 through February 24 at the Stieren Theater. Reservations are free and available to book at https://tuagamemnon.bpt.me/.
