Myth and Rhetoric: Novel Approaches to Greek Tragedy - 01-02/03/2019, Würzburg (Germany)
The purpose of our conference is to gather international scholars, especially at postgraduate and early career levels, focusing on Greek Tragic poetry. We hope to provide a productive and stimulating environment for both speakers and attendees to gain feedback on their work and to develop their research networks by meeting like-minded individuals. As both our keynote speakers have shaped new approaches to Greek Tragedy in their own projects, we are looking forward to engaged and instructive discussions in an open forum.
