The UC Teece Museum presents this free public talk by Associate Professor Victor Parker (UC Department of Classics) which will consider the work of Onesicritus (ca. 360 BC – ca. 290 BC), a Greek author and Cynic philosopher, who served under Alexander the Great on his campaigns in Asia.

Associate Professor Victor Parker (UC Department of Classics) teaches Greek Language and History - in the widest sense, from the Mycenaean (13th century B.C.) through to the Hellenistic period. He has broad research interests in Ancient Near Eastern and Roman (especially Republican) History.
