La novela griega y romana

Mañana es mi último día de Curso de Griego Clásico, y tenemos el examen final: así que estoy un poco nervioso y bastante liado estudiando. Pero quería informaros del seminario que va a tener lugar la semana que viene en la Universidad de Cork sobre la novela griega y romana (y al que tengo intención de asistir, estoy entusiasmado con el griego, y quiero seguir estudiando y aprendiendo) organizada por KYKNOS. El seminario dura tres días (del miércoles 29 al viernes 31 de agosto), el precio es de 80 euros (40 euros para estudiantes) e incluye además algunas de las comidas y café durante esos días. Pero lo más importante son las charlas que tendrán lugar. La Conferencia es en inglés. Copio aquí el programa final (http://www.kyknos.org.uk/?q=node/15):

Ancient Novel Conference

THE ANCIENT NOVEL AND ITS RECEPTION OF EARLIER LITERATURE
A KYKNOS conference at University College Cork, Ireland
Wednesday 29 August – Friday 31 August 2007

The reception of the texts of ancient Greece and Rome in later literature and culture has emerged as an area of intense scholarly interest in recent years. The ancient Greek and Roman novels, rich in intertextuality and allusion, provide ample scope for the study of the reception of earlier literature in the narrative of the Empire.

In this context, the Department of Classics at University College Cork will host a KYKNOS conference on 29-31 August 2007, with the aim of exploring the reception of earlier Greek and Roman literature in the ancient novels and the way in which reception shapes the novels’ content, structure and style.

This conference is funded by the UCC College of Arts, Celtic Studies and Social Science Conference Fund and the UCC Classics Department.
