On 21 October 2025, our Principal Investigator, Dr Chrysanthos S. Chrysanthou, will take part in the workshop Collective Characters in Greek Literature, held at Uppsala University, Sweden.

The event, organised within the Retracing Connections network, will bring together Zuzana Dzurillová (Charles University, Prague), Milan Vukašinović (Uppsala University), and Chrysanthos Chrysanthou (University of Cyprus) to explore representations of collective agency and group minds in ancient Greek narrative.

Dr Chrysanthou’s paper, titled “Speaking Groups in Greek Oratory,” examines the rhetorical and cognitive dynamics of collective speech in classical oratory and its relation to ancient conceptions of shared thought and voice.

Through such international collaborations, the project continues to expand the reach of its research on collective thought and representation in Greek narrative traditions.
