The Homeric Symposium is a conference run by postgraduates in the Department of Classics and Ancient History. The event brings together a wide range students and scholars to offer an inclusive and dynamic environment for the exploration of new perspectives in Homeric Studies and beyond.
Presentations will span intertextual connections with Near Eastern epic, Apollonius, and Virgil, as well as interdisciplinary approaches with philosophy, reception, and translation theory.
We are delighted to welcome two prominent Homeric and Hesiodic scholars: Athenassios Vergados (Newcastle), and Jenny Strauss-Clay (Virginia), who will be delivering our keynote lecture.
Join us for a stimulating exchange of ideas and scholarly discussion on the world of Homer!
