CALL FOR PAPERS

Abstract due 30 April 2010

International Conference: Poesia, musica e agoni nella Grecia antica / Poetry, music and contexts in ancient Greece

IV Annual Meeting of MOISA: International Society for the Study of Greek and Roman Music and its Cultural Heritage

Lecce, Italy, 28-30 October 2010

The overall topic of the conference will be ancient Greek music; it will focus particularly on the musical contests, which have rarely been studied in detail. They took place, in various forms, in all parts of the Greek world and through all periods of its history, and interacted in complex ways with literary, political, cultural and religious phenomena.

The subject will be addressed from a wide variety of perspectives, with contributions from invited scholars in fields including philology, archaeology, iconography and epigraphy.
