13th Moisa Research Seminar on Ancient Greek and Roman Music - 02-03-04-05-06-07/07/2018, Riva del G
In 2018, we shall focus on Music and Rhetoric in Dionysius of Halicarnassus, looking especially at De Compositione verborum as well as shorter treatises on individual orators and the wider Aristotelian and Aristoxenian background of Dionysius’ works. We will mostly work on the Loeb editions of Dionysius literary essays (Critical Essays vol. 1–2), but additional passages from other works will be circulated on separate handouts at the seminar.

The Arion Society is an independent, non-profit research organisation, so all contributions are important to keep the event running. However, we believe that nobody should be prevented from joining us because of financial constraints; so if the fee represents an obstacle, please get in touch with the organiser (Tosca Lynch, tosca.lynch@jesus.ox.ac.uk) and we can discuss this confidential
