SUMMER INSTITUTE: GRADUATE STUDENT WORKSHOP ON ANCIENT GREEK TRAGEDY
JULY 3 – 9TH, 2023

OVERVIEW:

This week-long workshop will bring together a small group of graduate students from Princeton University and Greek universities for a week of study of ancient Greek tragedy as text, matter, and performance. The workshop will be based at the Princeton Athens Center for Research and Hellenic Studies. Five days of intensive reading and discussion in Athens, including visits to relevant archaeological sites, will be followed by a weekend excursion to the Athens-Epidaurus Festival for further visits and performances.

Students will be expected to prepare a collaborative draft commentary on an assigned passage, which they will circulate one week in advance of the workshop, and then present for discussion to the group. This year, the focus will be Euripides’ Erechtheus, and the program will be led by Professor Joshua Billings (Princeton University) and Professor Ioanna Karamanou (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki), with further invited guests to be confirmed.

All participants are expected to command Ancient Greek at an advanced level, and the language of discussion will be English.

Tuition for the program is free, and all participants will receive a certificate of participation.  All graduate student participants will be required to submit a report on the workshop by July 31, 2023.
