In last year’s introductory Greek class, I watched a student rejoice when asked to give a (partial) synopsis of the verb ‘λύω.’ While synopses are rarely met with enthusiastic responses, this student knew that the synopsis, if correctly produced, would make him stronger. My class was playing Olympus, a term-length board game played in one-hour instalments throughout the quarter, and he had just drawn the Agōgē card.

Preliminary CfP: Edited Volume on “Cicero in Greece, Greece in Cicero”
Submissions are invited for an edited volume on “Cicero in Greece,
Greece in Cicero”.
In 2021 it will be 2100 years since Cicero’s trip to Greece in 79 BCE,
which was a significant factor in moulding him as an orator,
philosopher and politician. This provides the opportunity to put
together new and unpublished material on Cicero’s presence in Greece
literally, namely for the years he spent in nowadays Modern Greek
territory, including his aforementioned travel in 79/78 BCE and the
period of his exile in 58/57 BCE, and metaphorically, that is the
reception of Cicero in Late Roman, Byzantine, Post-Byzantine, Early
Modern, and Modern Greece through translations, studies, imitations,
etc. It is also an opportunity to approach from a new point of view
the presence of Greece in Cicero, namely how the Greek world, people,
language, civilisation, history, philosophy, politics and political
theory, religion, geography, etc. appear in his work.
Abstracts for proposed submissions are invited on any of the
aforementioned topics. Diverse, interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary
and other approaches to the material are welcome and encouraged. Early
career researchers are also encouraged to apply.

Unattainable wishes for the present or past may be entirely reasonable.
– Smyth’s Greek Grammar, “Wishes” §2156.5
Picture the heroine in the sand, wind-lashed and desperate, cursing the hero who left her behind. She’s Medea, she’s Ariadne, she’s Dido. Each of the three make a similar wish:
If only that ship had never reached my shores
If only that ship had never sailed
If only that ship had never even been built.

The Classics Everywhere initiative, launched by the SCS in 2019, supports projects that seek to engage communities worldwide with the study of Greek and Roman antiquity in new and meaningful ways.
How can we continue to encourage engagement with the ancient world as many transition to an online existence? Three Classics Everywhere projects have found creative and innovative ways to continue their work through the obstacles the COVID-19 pandemic has produced: a feminist adaptation of the Odyssey in the form of a chamber opera; an after-school Latin program in New York City’s Morningside Heights; and the launch of a new site and social media campaign aimed to inspire passion for ancient studies.
