The Poetry of Phoebe Giannisi | Readings, Performance, Conversation
Award-winner Phoebe Giannisi (Athens, 1964) is among Greece’s foremost contemporary poets. She is the author of eight books of poetry, three of which, Homerica (2017), Chimera (2019), and Cicada (2022), have now been translated into English by poet-translator Brian Sneeden. Her award-winning work focuses on field of ecopoetics, on the polyphony of voices attached to place, and the ethnography of the animated subjects that inhabit it. Bodies, weather, earth, seeds, orality, writing, love, female condition, mythic personas, sound, multiplicity, language, and animal beings constitute the primary subjects for Giannisi’s poetic activity.
The Center for Hellenic Studies is proud to sponsor and host this event, in collaboration with the APGRD (University of Oxford), the Bristol Poetry Institute (University of Bristol), the Michael Marks Trust, and New Directions Publishing.

ΚΑΙΡΟΝ ΓΝΩΘΙ· The Ancient Practice of Contingency Planning In my talk I will examine how Hellenistic communities understood and applied contingency planning by conceptually pairing chance (tychē) with opportunity (kairos). Specifically, I will argue that while decision-makers recognized the inherently uncertain character of the future, they resorted to deliberative expertise to better “read” th...

    there is no such thing as ancient greek because each city state had pretty much their own dialect of the hellenic language. (hellenic being ans umbrella term like latin languages italian, spanich, prtuguese french romanian) that is why greek authors created the dictionary of Hesychius of alexandira "Greek to Greek" greek is an invention of the 6th century sorry~!

    What an amazing resource. I'm going into Koine Greek II in senminary and this was just the "bam bam bam" through 1st year Ancient Greek to get me up to speed. Thank you Professor Muellner and Belisi Gillespie for your time and effort.

    When you discuss the three aspects in Ancient Greek, I wonder why is there only an aorist in the past tense and not the present tense. That is, why is there no present time, simple aspect, indicative active tense in Ancient Greek? You can also see its absence clearly in Hansen and Quinn's table on page 41 of Greek: An Intensive Course. It is furthermore interesting that in future time, there is a simple aspect as well, but that it is fused together with the progressive/repeated aspect.

    sorry, I'm confused. this play takes place during Heracles' 12th labor, but it was my understanding that he made the labours as atonement for killing Megara and his children... so how come Megara and his children are alive here?

    Yeah man they must've been misogynistic because they implied that... women might appreciate clothing. And yeah, totally, they clearly "feminize" the Persians because what else might their vulnerability & fall from grace be but a reference to the ever-lesser sex, am I right? Christ man, I hate modern analysis. People just huff their own supply & signal how much holier we are for our latest modern pretensions. Solid acting though.
