This workshop sets out to explore ways in which Greek narrative responds to Latin literature and culture at large. By studying cases of Latin interactions within ancient Greek narrative under the Principate, the conference seeks not only to improve our understanding of Greek-Latin overlaps in general, but also to find new ways of conceptualising this corpus in particular, by 1. discussing new methodological tools concerning reception; 2. situate Greek works in their intellectual, bilingual and multicultural environment; 3. account for the conspicuous absences of Rome from certain Greek productions under the Principate and investigate the notion of cultural identity.

Crash course in Greek paleography
The Greek department of Ghent University offers a one-day course in Greek paleography in collaboration with the Research School OIKOS.
The course is intended for MA students, ResMA students and PhDs working in the areas of Ancient History, Classics and Ancient Civilizations with a good command of Greek. It offers an intensive introduction into Greek paleography from the Hellenistic period until the end of the Middle Ages and is specifically aimed at acquiring practical skills for research involving literary and documentary papyri and literary manuscripts.
