Listen to Susan B. Matheson, the Molly and Walter Bareiss Curator of Ancient Art, discuss old age and the ways in which the elderly are depicted in ancient Greek art in Episode 10 of the Peopling the Past podcast series. In her forthcoming publication Old Age in Greek and Roman Art (2022), Matheson, together with J. J. Pollitt, discusses ancient attitudes toward old age and highlights the ways in which our perceptions of age echo—and depart from— those of our predecessors.
