Plato as Literary Critic

Internationaler Workshop unter Leitung von Dr. Theodora Hadjimichael (LMU Research Fellow).

17.07.2014 – 18.07.2014

The conference aims to provide the insights on Plato as literary critic in his own dialogues and to investigate his influence on literary criticism as well as on stylistic, musical, and rhetorical criticism. It intends to explore the way in which Hellenistic and post-Hellenistic scholarship draws on Plato and to advance our understanding of the manner in which his figure as literary critic was received in antiquity.
