Head and shoulders portrait of a woman looking at the camera and smiling. She has bobbed dark brown hair which the wind catches, a pink baseball cap and sunglasses. A large scarf with butterfly print is draped round her neck and shoulders. Behind her is a hilly rural landscape with temple ruins visible and trees.
Photograph of light grey marble surface with Latin text inscribed into it in capital letters. The perspective makes the text illegible on the left and large and sharp on the right.
Gonda Van Stein and Athanasios Balermpas sit to the left and right of a stage and face the camera. Balermpas wears a grey suit and black shirt. He also wears dark glasses and holds a microphone and a paper. Van Steen wears a dark red and grey patterned jacket with gold buttons and a black scarf, and black skirt and tights. Both panelists are smiling. Behind is a projected image with 'Nostos for Greek Adoptees' in blue text and photographs of children to the side.
Book cover. Black background with 'Europe - a New History' in white type with the author's name at the top. In the centre is a lithographic image in gold, white and blue side profile of a female figure wearing white classical-style dress and gold helmet decorated with acanthus flower, and holding a spear in one hand. In the other she holds a blue orb on top of which stands a winged gold female figure facing the viewer.

A stage with a blue curtained backdrop. In front six actors dressed in short white tunics stand in two rows. They reach and pose, their feet bare. Two of the actors have plain white headdresses that obscure their faces.
Archaeological site grassed over with stone remains. In the foreground is a modern stone plaque that reads House of Simon in English and Greek. A tabby cat sits to the right of the plaque and gazes at the viewer.
Text that says "Dr Amanda Kubic 'Orbits of Movement, Choreographies of Memory: Unfoldinga Female Network of Modern "Greek" Dance'" with a black and white photograph of a leaping dancer and a half-portrait photograph of Dr Kubic, a white woman with shoulder length brown hair wearing a dark coat. She faces the camera and smiles.
Poster art. The style is cartoon-like. Fringed red curtains pull back to reveal blue clouds swirling and retreating from 'The Clouds' in chunky yellow capital text. Below, a wrinkled, aged hand reaches up from the bottom of the poster, its grey shadow falling over the globe it stretches to grasp.
Book cover 'Music of Classical Reception', dark green with a multicoloured representation of the Parthenon as a cover image.
Head and shoulders publicity shot against a red backdrop. Wren Xiao looks at the camera. She wears a black blouse and her hair is styled in long ringlets. She smiles. At the top is the character name Celaeno in orange neon with her name underneath.
Headshot of Zo. She stands sideways on, her face turned to the camera. Her hairstyle is a dark brown, layered bob, and she wears steel rimmed glasses, with a K-style make-up. The name 'Ocypete' is in neon orange at the bottom.
Three students sit at a school table spread with newspaper. The girls look down, absorbed in the task of creating mosaics from tiles scattered on the paper.
A buff-coloured panther is sculpted side-ways on, her front paws resting on a head of a bearded man. She looks at the camera and shows her teeth.
A poster advertising the play. The style is cartoon-like. Fringed red curtains pull back to reveal blue clouds swirling and retreating from 'The Clouds' in chunky yellow capital text. Below, a wrinkled, aged hand reaches up from the bottom of the poster, its grey shadow falling over the globe it stretches to grasp.
