Workshop in Athens and Field Trip to the Piraeus

January 13, 2025: Epichorios Research Day in the British School at Athens, organized with Sam Gartland from the University of Leeds: Ancient Greece - Epichoric Reflections

The epichoric trait of Greek culture has been highlighted in recent years. Indeed, it has been claimed that Greek history is epichoric history. This is a good time to take stock with the term and its implicit concepts and paradigms. Far from a mere synonym for ‘local’, we seek to gauge the deeper meaning and usage of epichoric.

Our gathering in the BSA addresses these questions by means of a round-table conversation. Participants include Emma Aston, Christy Constantakopoulou, Sophia Nomicos, Nikolaos Papazarkadas, Oliver Pilz, and Jenny Wallensten.
