International Public Reading of Daphnis and Chloé

Traditionally, the Department of Classical Studies of the Faculty of Arts at Masaryk University is one of the few institutions in Central Europe to participate in the international simultaneous reading of ancient authors organized by the University of Lyon as part of the European Festival of Latin and Greek Poetry. This year, it's the turn of a Greek author again – Longus and his pastoral romance, Daphnis and Chloé. We will read from it in the Reading Room on the ground floor of Building D in Czech and Slovak translations.

You can see where Longus' text will be heard simultaneously on the map here.

The reading will also be available to watch later online as a recording.
