During the three-day visit of the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall to Greece beginning on Wednesday, May 9, 2018, Dr. John C. B. Petropoulos, who is Director of Harvard University’s Center for Hellenic Studies in Nafplion, Greece, met with Prince Charles, heir apparent of the monarch of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and, as well, with the President of the Hellenic Republic, Mr. Prokopios Pavlopoulos. Professor Petropoulos, himself a Harvard alumnus, has brought significant worldwide attention to Harvard’s academic dependency in Greece, attracting Classics and other scholars, in addition to those interested in Greek history. Prince Charles’ father, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, husband and consort of Queen Elizabeth II, was born in Greece and is the former Prince of Greece and Denmark. Mr. Pavlopoulos is a former academic.
Professor Petropoulos has been an Adjunct Professor at the Saint Photios Orthodox Theological Seminary since 2016, teaching both undergraduate (B.Th.) and graduate (M.T.S.) classes. He is scheduled to teach a graduate seminar in the Nativity Term 2018. His classes and his association with the Seminary have tremendously enhanced its curriculum and faculty profile, providing remarkable learning opportunities to the students.
