Other Pindars: a Conference on the Fragments, 11 - 12 December 2025Info Location Attendee Categories Additional Items Contact More Info Event Information
DescriptionThe integrally preserved Epinicians represent less than a quarter of Pindar’s total poetic production, filling just four of the seventeen books that were collected in Alexandria. The aim of this conference is to explore the riches of the ‘other Pindars’ that we meet in the hundreds of preserved fragments from other genres. This event is a successor to ‘Sentieri Pindarici / Pindaric Paths’, held at the Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II in 2024. In Cambridge a roundtable will be dedicated to the discussion of papers presented orally on that occasion. Speakers: Peter Agócs; Giambattista D’Alessio; Sean Gurd; Theodora Hadjimichael; Leslie Kurke; Pauline LeVen; Barbara Kowalzig; Timothy Power; Enrico Prodi; Ian Rutherford; Antonio Tibiletti Pre-circulated contributions by: Giambattista D’Alessio; Tiziano Presutti; Enrico Prodi; Marco Recchia; Henry Spelman; Peter Wilson For check 'More info' tab on this page for the program/schedule.
