In this edition of the Symposium Cumanum, we hope first to shine some retrospective light on the rich vein of scholarship that enhanced our understanding of these parallels. We seek to uncover further links between Vergil and texts written in Greek, including the position that the poet’s early relationship with Philodemus is fundamental to his work.

This event is co-organised by Ian Goh (Swansea University / Fellow 2024-25 Collegium de Lyon) and Sandro La Barbera (University of Trento).
