What ideas of proximity can we find in Classical Greek literature? How was intimacy understood, from Homer to Plato? What is the connection between proximity and friendship? What is the role of supplication? How can these ideas be mobilized to shed light on the notion of proximity today?
Join us for a conversation with Laura Slatkin (NYU and U. Chicago), Richard Martin (Stanford), and Gregory Nagy (Harvard), moderated by Nicolas Prevelakis (Harvard) and Dimitri Halikias (Harvard).
This event will take place via Zoom.
