Today, it's the turn of Chiara Thumiger's "Painful knowledge: suffering and the human interior in some passages from Latin poetry", which will be the opening paper at our conference. This looks like an excellent way to start our discussion on medicine, the body and Latin poetry. We can't wait to find out more!

Today, we publish the abstract of Judith Hallett and Donald Lateiner's co-authored paper: "Connotation and Commotion: Putting the 'Kinesis' into the 'Cinaedus'". The two speakers will dedicate their paper to the memory of Professor William Nethercut (1936-2020), who passed away on the 14th of August. This is a touching and very generous dedication, and we're looking forward to welcoming these great speakers to our online conference!
Following Lucretius' (didactic) epic, we are now introduced to the Vergilian epos by James Uden's "Suffering and the Roman Body in the Aeneid". We can't wait to find out more about the depictions of diseases within the Aeneid!
After an elegiac start, we'll now move onto didactic epic with George Kazantzidis' "The 'Medical Body' in Lucretius: A Few Thoughts on the Use and Abuse of 'Medical Discourse' in Latin Poetry." We're looking forward to hearing more about such an exciting topic!
After Hunter Gardner's "The Aetiology of Illness in Latin Love Elegy", it is now time to share another abstract. To continue on this elegiac avenue, today we introduce Ioannis Ziogas' "The Anatomy of Pleasure in Ovid's 'Art of Love'". We're very excited about what looks like an extremely promising paper!
