Talk presented by Sundeep Braich at Erasmus Darwin House.
What's in a name? Join Sundeep Braich as she explores the prefix "Leto" in Letocetum, the Roman name for a settlement near Lichfield. While Letocetum officially has no connection to the Greek goddess Leto, the prefix sparks curiosity.
Could the Romans have considered the connection to Leto too?
Why did Leto's pregnancy with Artemis and Apollo challenge Hera, the queen of the gods and guardian of marriage? Are you intrigued by the brewing conflict between these two powerful goddesses, Leto and Hera?
Tea/coffee included in ticket price. Served before talk.
