Conference Podcast: Greek Literary Epigram: From the Hellenistic to the Early Byzantine Era

Greek Literary Epigram: From the Hellenistic to the Early Byzantine Era
International Conference UCL, 11-13 September 2013
Organisers: C. Carey (UCL), M. Kanellou (UCL), I. Petrovic (Durham)
Though there has been a surge in interest in Greek literary epigram during the last decades, much of the discussion still centres on the Hellenistic period or on specific poets. This conference, which brought together some of the most distinguished international experts in the field, sought to explore the genre on a larger canvas, combining a wider chronological sweep with a precise focus on key themes. This website brings together the conference papers as delivered for those who wanted to be there but couldn't - or just those who would like to understand the epigram better.
