When did truth become a thing? Julia Kindt joined Suzanne Hill on Nightlife last night to discuss the emergence of truth as a communal value in ancient Greece. They may have also discussed the virtue of the Humanities. Worth a listen. @newsroomusyd.bsky.social www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

A Roman emperor grovelling to a Persian king: the message behind a new statue in Tehran
The statue, titled Kneeling Before Iran, shows the emperor grovelling before Persian king Shapur I. Where did this imagery come from? And why now?

#CFP Truth in the Classical Greek City: Local and Universal Renderings - organisers: Hans Beck & Julia Kindt - Sydney University - Oct 1-2, 2026 listserv.liv.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa?A... Due by Dec 6
In the first quarter of the twenty-first century, truth has become a deeply contested – if not divisive – concept. Intensifying political polarization, social media, identity politics, & the deliberate spread of mis- & disinformation have all contributed to a climate in which truth gradually forfeits its quality as a shared reference point. Rather, it might be deployed as a marker of exclusion, used to distinguish us from them. This conference returns to the period that witnessed the emergence & proliferation of truth as such a shared frame of reference & communal value in Classical Greece. It invites speakers to examine the role of truth in a range of ancient Greek texts & social & political contexts. We will consider how truth – &, at times, its absence or its wilful distortion & manipulation – operates in the assembly & law courts of the city-state, as well as how truth claims are articulated across various genres of Classical Greek thought & literature, including myth, drama, historiography, & philosophy. Of particular interest is the tension between epichoric encodings of truth – grounded in specific local discourse environments – & their correspondence with, & aspiration toward, universal validity. Our aim is not merely to recover ancient conceptions of aletheia, but to investigate the social, political, & cultural functions truth once served: what did truth mean in contexts where civic trust, justice, & collective decision-making depended upon it? &, crucially, what might be lost if contemporary societies ab&on truth as a shared aspiration & horizon of meaning? The papers presented at this conference will form the basis of a collaborative volume on Truth & the Ancient Greek City. The conference will be held from October 1 to 2, 2026 at the University of Sydney, Australia. Moderate travel bursaries may be available for participants. To be considered as a speaker please send a short (200-300 word) abstract of your paper to Julia.Kindt@sydney.edu.au by 6.12.2025

#CFP online seminar series: Strong Women of the Ancient Mediterranean World and their Reception - September-December 2026 - Organisers: Anastasia Bakogianni (Massey), Martina Treu (Milan) sponsored by EuGeStA Network, AWAWS, The Imagines Project - Due by Jan 6
This online series of meetings brings together scholars and practitioners from both hemispheres to discuss the stories of ancient historical and fictional women who inspire them and their work. We invite speakers to problematise the concept of what a 'strong' woman means to them, and how our ideas about the position and roles of women, gender and female agency have evolved over time. In turn this affects how we receive, interact with and adapt these ancient female figures and their stories. Each speaker will reflect on their chosen ancient woman/women or group, as a launchpad for a wider examination of the impact of ancient women in recent scholarship and/or in a variety of modern media (including but not limited to the stage, screen and the visual arts). Speakers can choose to focus on the ancient material but must engage with recent scholarly debates on questions of gender, and/or diversity. Practitioners are particularly welcome to present their creative receptions of these ancient female figures, partnering up with a scholar or by themselves with a scholar as a respondent to foster dialogue and the exchange of ideas. We welcome proposals from interested scholars, postgraduates and practitioners (a title and a short abstract of 200-300 words) by 6th of January. Collaborations between researchers and between scholars and practitioners are most welcome. Since our goal is to bring together people from both hemispheres, we aim to preserve a balance in terms of numbers between northern and southern speakers. We envisage a seminar series of between 10 and 12 speakers, with around 2 speakers, plus a chair/respondent per session. Dates and times to be decided after the selection of abstracts has been completed.
