The Classical Association of Virginia

Greetings!

You are invited to attend the 2010 NEH Conference on Ovid and Ovidianism this April 16-18 at the Omni Richmond Hotel in Richmond, VA. For complete details and registration information, please visit: http://classics.richmond.edu/program/ovid/index.html.

The aim of this conference is to come to a more complete and nuanced understanding of what is involved in the concept of Ovidianism, with a particular focus on metamorphosis. To that end classicists, art historians, and specialists in European literature will come together to explore how writers and artists of various eras have drawn on, imitated and critiqued Ovid's works; and also how they have re-contextualized them.

This event is sponsored by the University of Richmond's Department of Classical Studies and the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH); and directed and hosted by Dr. Carole E. Newlands, NEH Distinguished Visiting Professor in Classics for 2009-2010.

We hope to see you there!

Best regards,
Michele
