Discovering Dionysos in the Sinai Palimpsest Conference
An international conference, Discovering Dionysos in the Sinai Palimpsest: New Mysteries of the Ancient Orphica?, will take place at ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥ on March 1 and 2.
The recent discovery of Greek hexameters in a palimpsest from the Monastery of St. Catharine in Sinai has introduced a fascinating new piece of the puzzle for scholars of ancient Greek mythology studying the tales of the god Dionysos. Radcliffe Edmonds (÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥), Luisina Abrach (Universidad de Buenos Aires), and Anne-France Morand (Université Laval, Québec) are convening a group of scholars to discuss the interpretation of a variety of aspects of the scenes in this text.
The conference is taking place at ÷ÈÓ°Ö±²¥ over two days, March 1 and 2, 2024, but the paper sessions will be open to remote audiences via Zoom.
