The Classical Association Annual Conference 2018 The Classical Association Annual Conference 2018 Friday 6 - Monday 9 April 2018 Hosted by: The School of Archaeology and Ancient History FRONT COVER IMAGES Roman mosaic The mosaic design was drawn by Naoíse Mac Sweeney from an image kindly supplied by University of Leicester Archaeological Services. It is taken from a floor found in 2017 during excavation of the Stibbe site in the city centre—the largest stretch of Roman mosaic discovered in the city since the 19th century. The mosaic is on display in the Sports Hall of the Charles Wilson Building during the conference. Acropolis of Athens The etching of the Acropolis is by Mary Annie Sloane (1867–1961), ARE, RA, who was born in Leicester and lived for much of her life at Enderby a few miles away. She was the first female fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers & Engravers, and made portraits of pioneering women and working people, as well as of Leicestershire and Mediterranean landscapes. Her work was nationally recognized in her lifetime; interest was revived in 2016 by a major exhibition at New Walk Museum. Copies of the exhibition booklet will be on sale to delegates and also at the New Walk Museum.

  • REFLECTIONS of a NATION Antigone on the Modern Greek Stage
    REFLECTIONS OF A NATION Antigone on the Modern Greek Stage Andria Michael Royal Holloway, University of London Thesis Submitted for the Degree of PhD in Classics 2015 2 Declaration of Authorship I, Andria Michael, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Andria Michael 18 December 2015 3 Abstract This thesis is a study of performances of Sophocles’ Antigone on the modern Greek stage, their political and social resonances, their cultural contexts and their role in the formation and presentation of modern Greek national identity. It is the result of research concerning the revival of ancient Greek drama, in accordance with modern Greek theatre history as well as with the broader history of the modern Greek nation. As a play political in its essence, Antigone has been widely used as a political statement in the Greek revivals from the second half of the nineteenth century onwards. To attempt an examination and analysis of such performances covering this long period of time means to simultaneously examine the key events of the country: the liberation from Ottoman Rule, the early process of formation of the new state, the hotly disputed conflict of the Language Question, the modernist Generation of the 1930s, the Greek Civil War, the Dictatorship of 1967-1974, as well as many other significant events and movements of modern Greek history. The approach of the work is qualitative rather than quantitative. The aim is to choose the specific moments when theatre and politics cross paths, to examine the connections between artistic choices and political incentives, and to highlight the moments which eventually reveal that Antigone has been repeatedly used as a platform for political or politically charged issues, conflicts and agendas.

Contrary to some dominant interpretations of the ancient conception of friendship according to which it can only be understood as an obligatory reciprocity, I argue that friendship between fellow citizens is important because it contributes to the unity of both state and community by transmitting feelings of intimacy and solidarity.
