SUMMARY:"Know Thyself: Ancient Proverbs and the Road to Wisdom” | Kathryn Morgan
DESCRIPTION:Professor Kathryn Morgan\, UCLA Department of Classics\, lectures on “Know Thyself: Ancient Proverbs and the Road to Wisdom\,” (as part of International Greek Language Day). \nKathryn Morgan is Professor of Classics in the Department of Classics at UCLA. Her interests range broadly over Greek literature of the fifth and fourth centuries BC. She regularly teaches graduate seminars in Attic tragedy\, Pindar and Greek lyric\, and Plato\, and her research oscillates between projects connected with Plato and with Pindar. The former is represented by her book Myth and Philosophy from the Presocratics to Plato\, and by her ongoing involvement in the series Studies in Ancient Greek Narrative (published by Brill)\, where she is responsible for the chapters covering Plato. Pindar is the subject of her most recent book\, Pindar and the Construction of Syracusan Monarchy in the Fifth Century B.C. (2015)\, where she examines Pindar’s victory odes for Hieron of Syracuse and the program of tyrannical self-representation to which they contributed. Ongoing research includes book projects on Plato’s conception of history and on historical narrative in the Persians of Aeschylus. She has served on the Program Committee and the Board of Directors of the Society for Classical Studies\, and is currently a member of the Nominating Committee. \nThe event will be offered on Zoom.\nRSVP to shorturl.at/uHLTW to receive the link.

SUMMARY:Finding Atlantis | Kathryn Morgan
DESCRIPTION:This talk (offered on Zoom) by Professor Kathryn Morgan\, Chair of the UCLA Department of Classics\, explores the origins and some of the development of the myth of the lost island of Atlantis\, from Plato to contemporary video games. This legend has fascinated its audiences since it first appeared in the works of the philosopher Plato\, and like all good myths it reflects the concerns of the society that created it. It is a story about the kind of society that want to live in\, about the effect upon civilizations of imperial ambition\, about how we deal with the sea as a medium for economic and cultural exchange. In the hands of modern geographers\, explorers\, and other scholars\, the myth has become something different: a symbol of the mysterious past that we can never quite control. \nYou must RSPV at hellenic@humnet.ucla.edu to be included in this event. We welcome attendance by students\, community members\, and your family members outside of Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:Symposium: A Celebration of International Greek Language Day
DESCRIPTION:Symposium: International Greek Language Day | Sunday\, February 9 \nAbstracts of talks \nBrent Vine (UCLA). Greek in the Bronze Age: Linear B and Mycenaean Greek. \n2:10-2:50pm     \nAlmost unique among languages of the world\, the Greek language provides continuous written documentation over a span of more than three millennia\, and has retained its identity as “Greek” for most of that period. For Greek in the Bronze Age: the 1952 decipherment of the Linear B script was one of the most exciting developments in the 20th-century study of language and linguistics\, as well as Classical studies. Yet there are some widespread misconceptions about the documents in Mycenaean Greek (the language of the Linear B texts): one often hears\, for example\, that these texts are so fragmentary and recorded in such dull formats (almost all of them are lists\, and they are filled with personal names) that they preserve little of interest. In this presentation\, we will take a close look at Linear B and some of the documents in Mycenaean Greek\, so as to illustrate the remarkable interest of this early form of the Greek language and the information it offers us — not only about the history of the Greek language\, but also about early Greek and Ancient Mediterranean culture. \nMaria Mavroudi (UC Berkeley). Towards a New History of Byzantine Philosophy.       \n2:50-3:30pm  \nAlmost thirty years ago\, the historian of medieval philosophy Alain de Libera explained that Byzantine philosophy is “poorly understood\, frequently scorned\, little studied\, and never translated”. Today\, philosophy remains one of the least cultivated fields within Byzantine studies. Claims that it is\, at best\, an inferior by-product of ancient Greek philosophy\, continue to be articulated. The lecture will explain how the modern study of the history of philosophy led to such a conclusion\, and what place philosophy occupied within Byzantine literary culture. \nNikolaos Panou (Stony Brook University). Specters of Byzantium: Language and Ideology in Early Modern Greek Advice Literature.  \n3:40-4:20pm \nThis presentation will focus on the reception of Byzantine imperial ideology in the late seventeenth century and its textual uses as a key element for the representation and legitimization of sovereignty in the semi-independent Danubian Principalities at the northern periphery of the Ottoman Balkans. Produced by Greek-speaking authors under the auspices of increasingly powerful Orthodox rulers\, the texts under consideration were designed to serve specific propagandistic agendas but in doing so they also contributed both to an intense process of interethnic contact and to a reconfiguration of fundamental moral and political concepts in the region at a crucial point in its history. \nKaterina Stergiopoulou (Princeton University). ‘What These Ithacas Mean’: Reading Cavafy’s Greek.  \n4:20-5:00pm \nCritics and translators have often noted the richness of diction in the work of modernist Greek poet C.P. Cavafy’s (1863-1933)\, as well as his frequent shifts between registers of Modern Greek; as David Ricks puts it\, “Cavafy’s modernity resides so essentially in his refusal to reduce the incongruent or even competing idioms of Greek\, in all its longevity\, to a single idiom.” In my paper I will be thinking about this question of idiom through the often-neglected lens of Cavafy’s use of (sometimes lengthy) citations from classical and postclassical Greek texts. I will be arguing that the implications of these citations—which range from Aeschylus to Plutarch to Byzantine authors—go beyond his peculiar and masterful melding of registers. For Cavafy brings his carefully and idiosyncratically constructed Greek idiom face to face with older incarnations of the Greek language in the very poems in which he poses the question of Hellenism. While closely examining the linguistic texture of these poems and their importance for our understanding of Cavafy’s historical poetics and linguistic politics\, I will also be placing Cavafy’s work in a broader context of twentieth-century poetic practice.

SUMMARY:"The Power of Names in Republican Rome" | Jane Chaplin
DESCRIPTION:For readers of Livy and students of Roman republican history\, the idea that names revealed character and foretold behavior is familiar: a Manlius Torquatus can be expected to treat his son severely\, and a Publius Decius Mus to devote himself in a close battle.  Names as destiny and gentilicial traits culminated in Mark Antony’s reference to Caesar’s heir as the boy who owed everything to his name\, as well as to the later ban on Marcus as a praenomen for the Antonii.  But just how was it that two men named Scipio Africanus took similarly erratic paths through the cursus honorum\, raised armies without public funds\, defeated Carthage\, and even had a Gaius Laelius as a best friend? This talk puts the similarities between the elder and younger Scipios in the context of Roman beliefs about names and family traits and argues that Aemilianus built on and contributed to those ideas in constructing his political success.

SUMMARY:Metamorphosis and the Environmental Imagination from Ovid to Shakespeare
DESCRIPTION:Narratives of metamorphosis\, from human into other living and mineral forms\, have long provided an important tool for thinking through the complexities of our relationship with the world around us. From Ovid to David Cronenberg\, thinkers and artists have used the trope of physical transformation to figure the ways in which human and non-human agencies have evolved from and adapted to one another in a relationship characterized by fluctuating perceptions of friction and symbiosis\, distance and proximity. This conference seeks to locate the theme of metamorphosis in the early history of the western environmental imagination\, from Classical antiquity to the Early Modern period; and to explore the ways in which the various cultural and historical manifestations of metamorphosis from this earlier period resonate with the environmental approaches and concerns of our present day. \nOrganized by Francesca Martelli (Associate Professor of Classics\, UCLA) and Giulia Sissa (Distinguished Professor of Classics and Political Science\, UCLA). \nClick here to see the complete schedule and additional details.
