The cohabitation of the two has at times been easy\, but at others in conflict. In a paraphrase of Matthew Arnold's famous framing\, they two ought to be\, but rarely are\, evenly and happily balanced. This series of lectures will consider the long and largely tortuous relationship between the Greek and Jewish traditions in the context of Greek history\, and its culmination in a modern Greek nation state that has largely forgotten its own Jewish pasts - and the fact that there were Jews in Greece long before there were Christians.
