[Usyd_Classics_Events] CAH Online Research Seminar #3 May 21st

[Ben Brown]

Dear Friends,

Please join us for our next CCANESA/Classics and Ancient History online research seminar.

Our modified schedule of fortnightly seminars continues Thursday the 21st of May at 4 for 4:15pm with:


Associate Professor Trevor V. Evans  (Macquarie University, Sydney)

“How many Ancient Greek authors does it take to make ‘make a letter’ Greek?”

Abstract:

The expression ‘make a letter’ (ποιῶ ἐπιστολήν) turns up in a Greek papyrus from Egypt of the third century BCE. How Greek does it look to you? In classical and post-classical Greek it seems to be quite isolated and a little exploration suggests it is an example of bilingual interference from Demotic Egyptian. Then two other examples appear in highly educated writers of much later times. And then the expression disappears and is even removed from a relevant copying tradition. What is the explanation? Is it really Greek or not? This presentation investigates the possibilities.
