September 22-24
Time is a concept central to human existence, and all forms of verbal and narrative art present or reconfigure events that occur in time. Time can also be an objective natural measure, but in literature it appears malleable and can be shaped according to the needs of the moment. In addition, time can be perceived in many ways as linear, circular, or kairos; it can also be refracted through human and divine temporalities. Reflections on time begin in the archaic age when the Greeks composed literature that explored the representation and ordering of time. Our conference sets out to examine how time functions in archaic texts and what those texts can tell us about ideas and conceptions of time in early Greece.
