3rd Trends in Classics International Conference on Greek Drama
December 3-6, 2009
(to be held in the Auditorium of the Archaeological Museum, Thessaloniki)
The Department of Classics at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the
Institut für Klassische Philologie at the University of Freiburg are pleased to
announce the organization of the 3rd Trends in Classics International
Conference to be held from December 3-6, 2009. The theme of the
conference is:
Crisis on Stage: Tragedy and Comedy in Late Fifth-Century Athens
This four-day conference will explore the relationships between masterworks
of such celebrated Greek dramatists as Sophocles, Euripides and Aristophanes
and critical events of Athenian history, by bringing together international
scholars with expertise on different aspects of ancient theatre. We will seek
to raise questions about how tragic and comic plays composed in late fifth
century BCE mirror the acute political and social crisis unfolding in Athens in
the wake of the military catastrophe in 413 BCE and the oligarchic revolution
in 411 BCE.
