Ruby Blondell Launches 1000 Ships at Oberlin

Professor Ruby Blondell recently spent a week at Oberlin College presenting the Martin Classical Lectures on the theme Helen of Troy on Screen. Her four lectures covered representations of Helen in the silent movie era and the Hollywood epics of the 1950s, ending with the TV shows Star Trek and Xena: Warrior Princess. She also had the pleasure of spending time with recent Ph.D. graduate Naomi Campa, who is at Oberlin with a Mellon post-doctoral fellowship.
