Detailed Information
Scholar of Medieval English, translator, and poet George Economou has worked for a decade constructing the Poems and Fragments of Ananios of Kleitor and Their Reception from Antiquity to the Present.
With the book published earlier this year, Economou is donating the unique record of his labor to a place the Arcadian writer Ananios (born the year of Socrates' execution) would have liked, had he existed -- the Papyrus Collection of the University of Michigan.
Join us as we celebrate the canonization of another classical fiction.
