The Pharos lecture series is back for our first event of the 2025-2026 season! Join us on Monday, October 27th at 7:30pm in the Upper Hall at 4500 Arbutus Street (Hellenic Community) for a free illustrated lecture by Dr. Alex Grammatikos. This talk discusses the British poet George Gordon, Lord Byron, and his connection to Greece in the first quarter of the 19th century and his legacy first as a young traveller and later as a hero of the Greek War of Independence during which he died at Missolonghi. In addition the talk will explore how Byron’s memory lives on in Greece today, including through public collections, displays, statues, events and even personal and street names.
Alex Grammatikos is a specialist on Lord Byron and his poetry; he teaches English literature at Langara College and has joined the Board of Pharos.
