DESCRIPTION:Registration Required\n\n\nPeople have long been fascinated by 
 the heavens\, striving to comprehend the movements of celestial bodies and
  the mysteries of the cosmos. Across cultures and throughout history\, thi
 s curiosity has shaped intellectual life\, influencing the creation of cal
 endars\, navigation systems\, and our understanding of seasonal and astron
 omical cycles. In this lecture\, we will explore key concepts of ancient G
 reek astronomy and examine how the sky was envisioned and represented. We 
 will consider the major cosmological models that arose in the Classical an
 d Hellenistic periods\, and explore how celestial phenomena impacted daily
  life—from agriculture and weather forecasting to healing practices and 
 ritual traditions—leaving their imprint on texts\, inscriptions\, and ma
 terial culture.\n\n\nFor other Origins of Astronomy Week events\, visit pi
