Flavian Epic Network Conference 2011 – Call for papers
An international conference at the University College London, June 23-24 2011
Over the past couple of years the Flavian Epic Network (FEN) has organised a series of events on individual Flavian epic poets as well as on their relationship to Flavian culture and on their reception. These are now set to culminate in the first major conference devoted to Flavian epic as a whole: Flavian Epic Interactions, hosted by the Department of Greek and Latin at University College London. This conference takes its starting point from the unique fact in Roman literary history that there survive more or less completely preserved epics from three almost contemporary poets. Find out more about the conference.
