History Happy Hour – Bonesteel Wines & Spirits

Politics of Beauty Vol. 1: Phryne. Drink great wine and learn about Phryne of Thespiae, the IT girl of ancient Athens.

Calling all history buffs: Join us in person for the first installation of History Happy Hour at Bonesteel! Led by amateur historian Christine Ruddell, enjoy a casual evening of history, wine, and socializing.

This installation is all about Phryne of Thespiae, the IT girl of ancient Athens. Hailed as the most beautiful woman in all of Greece, Phryne’s legacy has far outlived her. Put to trial by a jilted lover, Phryne faced possible execution only to be saved by her looks. Spend an evening sorting fact from fiction and examining Phryne’s legacy and her impact on modern beauty standards.

What’s included:

• A casual seminar on Greek history led by Christine Ruddell
• Two different wines to sip on
• Light snacks
