H2020: Homer as cultural horizon - 21-22-23-24/10/2020, Nice (France)
Among Ancient Greek texts, the Homeric epics have certainly been the most often copied, widely studied and thoroughly commented during the whole Western tradition up to this day; furthermore, they have given rise to the largest diversity of critical perspectives in literature, and more generally in humanities. They provide a laboratory of literary studies, textual genetics, historical critic, anthropological analysis, digital humanities, and so on. With this conference, we wish to propose a state of the art of the recent advances in scholarship on the Homeric poems and tradition. This synthetic review will be dialectic in nature, since it will confront the different and often diverging approaches and conceptions which have arisen during the last decades and deeply renewed the field of Homeric studies.
