The American Academy in Rome and Sapienza Università di Roma have joined together to host the conference "Ovid: Morte E Trasfiguazione." Professor Joe Farrell will present during the conference which will be held in Rome from March 9th-11th.
In Ovid's later poetry, death takes different forms, including bodily metamorphosis, literary canonization, and political exile. The conference will focus on these and related aspects, including the earliest stages of Ovid's posthumous reception.
