EarthDiverse: Getting to know the Real Greek Gods
EarthDiverse is pleased to announce its newest course in our History/Philosophy/Mythology series: "Getting to Know the Real Greek Gods", beginning on Thursday 19 October 2023, 7:00-8:30pm, available both in-person at our Hamilton Centre or on-line via Zoom.
You’ve probably met the Greek gods in popular fiction and films, but…have you ever wondered how the Ancient Greeks really worshiped their gods? In this class, we’ll go back in time and get to know the real Greek gods.
As we shift through archaeology, art and literature, you’ll learn: how to identify the Olympian gods, how to build an altar, how to ‘feed’ a god, the working of feasts and festivals, what to do (and not to do) inside a Greek sanctuary, and how the Greek gods became Roman (…it’s complicated).
Check out this and all of our other arts, humanities and language courses on our webpage.
Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?
All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.
But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.
Are you a Te Huia fan? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Tenants trash home, spray graffiti inside and outside
A Hamilton landlord has been awarded thousands of dollars after tenants left a rental property riddled with graffiti, damage and piles of abandoned furniture, then failed to show up to their own Tenancy Tribunal hearing.
The Tenancy Tribunal has ordered two former tenants of the Inverness Ave property to pay $2,585.83 after their bond was applied to cover unpaid rent, cleaning, rubbish removal, lock changes and repairs.
