Mission

The theme for the 2008 Classics Colloquium – seventh in the series – was on the classical concept of Metamorphosis, both its literal and metaphorical meanings. It included both scientific subjects such as alchemy and chemistry, and literary themes such as intertextuality, disguising, pastiche, translation, and so forth.

Classics graduate students at member universities of the Europaeum were invited to take part in this Colloquium which aimed to bring young European scholars together with leading academic experts with the chance to present papers for discussion and critique by a fellow international body.
