Hi, I realise you sent this to the list in error, but in fact I am quite
interested! Would you send me some information about your paper? Would it
also be OK for me to forward your mailing to OPERA-SCHOLARS - I assume the
members of this list may wish to contribute to the conference.

> Medea, the notorious infanticidal non-Greek wife of Jason, is a figure
> from Classical mythology who challenges the boundaries of behaviour and
> understanding and has proved both a creative and an intellectual challenge
> for countless writers, artists, composers and performing artists since
> Euripides and before.

> We invite proposals for papers for the
> cross- and interdisciplinary conference:
>
> Medea: Mutations and Permutations of a Myth

> critical re-assessment of theories of myth and myth-making on the basis of
> the mutations and permutations of the Medea myth · The interpretation of
