XIV Encuentro con los Clásicos: Lectures and Seminars on Greco-Latin Culture and Classical Theatre

The XIV 'Encuentro con los Clásicos' is a series of conferences, courses, and seminars held from July 9-17, aiming to provide a deeper understanding of Greco-Latin culture and the context of the Mérida International Classical Theatre Festival. It features specialists from various universities and the Director of the National Museum of Roman Art.

For fourteen years, the 'Encuentro con los Clásicos' conference cycle has focused on illuminating the context of the performances presented during the Mérida International Classical Theatre Festival. This initiative allows attendees to gain a more profound understanding of both the spectacles they will witness and Greco-Latin culture, thereby equipping them with greater insight to appreciate and interpret these works. This edition's conferences will be led by specialists from the University of Extremadura, the University of Lisbon, UNED Madrid, and the Director of the National Museum of Roman Art. The program includes talks on topics such as Emperor Hadrian and his villa, the siege of Numantia in history and literature, 'Oedipus Rex' as the tragedy par excellence, and the Argonauts in Greco-Latin literature.
