The Curse No Man Can Bear: Harry Potter and the Oresteia
The Wheaton College Departments of Philosophy and Core Studies present a lecture inspired by CORE 376 Advanced Integrative Seminar "Harry Potter: Theology and Literary Imagination.” Dr. Mitchell Parks, Associate Professor of Classics at Knox College, will give a lecture titled “The Curse No Man Can Bear: Harry Potter and the Oresteia" on Tuesday, April 7 at 7:00 PM. Parks writes, "The final novel in the Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, begins with a quotation of the Greek tragedy Libation Bearers. Originally produced in 458 BCE, this play is at the center of the dramatic trilogy known as the Oresteia, the story of the mythological prince Orestes, who must kill his own mother to avenge his father. The quotation opens up a conversation between these ancient and modern texts that brings to the surface two key themes of the Harry Potter series: 1) our relationship to the past, and especially how we relate to mentors with ambiguous legacies; and 2) gender roles and motherhood.

Under a Northern Sky: Early Medieval Influences on Tolkien’s The Children of Húrin
The Marion E. Wade Center, Old English Reading Group, English Department and Tolkien Society at Wheaton College present "Under a Northern Sky: Early Medieval Influences on Tolkien’s The Children of Húrin," a lecture by Benjamin Weber, Ph.D. on Thursday, April 16, 2026 at 4:00 PM. The story of Túrin Turambar is perhaps the most haunting and tragic of the tales that lie behind the world of The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien himself remarked that the story was influenced by the Finnish Kalevala, but there are clear parallels with the Old Icelandic and Old English legends of Sigurd the Dragonslayer as well. This lecture will consider the ways in which Tolkien was inspired by different stories from what he calls the “nameless North," suggesting that the legends of Sigurd and the Volsungs can deepen our appreciation of the tale of Túrin and tell us something about Tolkien as a reader of early medieval literature. Dr. Benjamin Weber is Associate Professor of English and Classical Languages (by courtesy) at Wheaton…

From Physics & Metaphysics to Magic & Religion in the Greco-Roman World: Historical Thought Impact on Current Thinking
The Physics and Engineering Department at Wheaton College presents "From Physics & Metaphysics to Magic & Religion in the Greco-Roman World: Historical Thought Impact on Current Thinking," a lecture by Dr. Ori Z Soltes on Thursday, April 16, 2026 at 7:00 PM.
This talk explores the interesting wrestling match with certain important words and their underlying concepts, from how the ancient Greeks distinguished physics from metaphysics from ethics and sophistry from philosophy to how the Romans distinguished philosophy and medicine and science from magic, and superstition from religion. How did these terms evolve to convey which underlying concepts? What were the implications for everyday people’s lives? And then: how did all this help shape the sweep of Western history between antiquity and the modern era? And how did what they meant lead to what we mean—or think we mean—when we use these terms? And what are the implications for our own future—of how we relate a past more complicated than they teach…
