[Usyd_Classics_Events] Reminder: CCANESA/CAH Research Seminar - Thursday 21 May

[Ben Brown]

Dear Friends,

This is a reminder of our upcoming Classics and Ancient History/CCANESA online research seminar this Thursday the 21st of May at 4 for 4:15pm.

Our speaker will be Associate Professor Trevor Evans, from Macquarie University, presenting his paper titled:

‘‘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.

Please find attached to this email two supporting documents for the presentation, kindly pre-circulated by Professor Evans, who notes that the handout will be necessary to follow along with tomorrow’s talk.

As with our previous seminars, the paper will be around 20-30 minutes long, with time for discussion and questions from the group at the end. For any further information or questions, please contact us at ccanesa.general at sydney.edu.au<mailto:ccanesa.general at sydney.edu.au>
