Ben Cartlidge
I am Lecturer in Greek Culture and Classical Receptions in the Department of Archaeology, Classics and Egyptology in the University of Liverpool.
Previous appointments include Lectureships at St John's College and at Christ Church, Oxford; a Junior Research Fellowship at Wolfson College, Oxford, and a Leverhulme ECR Fellowship, Liverpool.
Current major projects, culminating in monographs or edited collections: Athenaeus of Naucratis; the language of comedy (esp. Menander); Hellenistic poetry; the legacy of Platonism. I also write about a wide range of genres and topics in Greek and Latin literature (epigram, satire, tragedy, Homer, Hesiod, history of classical scholarship, papyrology), and have subsidiary interests in the languages of the Ancient Near East (esp. Urartian) and Indo-European linguistics.

Abstract accepted for a conference at the Accademia Belgica in Rome, June 2018.
CfP ‘Middle Platonism and its Literary Reflections’, 3rd-4th July 2020, Freiburg im Breisgau
We invite calls for papers for a conference to be held at the University of Freiburg, in collaboration with the University of Liverpool, to develop new perspectives on the ways in which Middle Platonism influenced contemporaneous literary texts.
What is the connection between Plato as a ‘text’ and Platonism as 'doctrine'?
How does Middle Platonism affect the literature of the period?
Can a distinct Middle Platonic concern (or set of concerns) be identified?
And how wide-ranging is this interest in literary work of the period?
How does the development of doctrine or intellectual speculation reflect and shape changes in literature and literary responses to intellectual culture?
Where are the boundaries between doctrinal development and literary reception?
Keynote speakers: Judith Mossman; Heinz-Günther Nesselrath; Michael Trapp; Tim Whitmarsh; Alexei Zadorozhnyy.
Please submit abstracts of 300 words, for a 20 minute paper to be followed by 10 minutes of discussion, by the 30th of November to Ben Cartlidge (benjamin.cartlidge@liverpool.ac.uk) and Leonardo Costantini (leonardo.costantini@altphil.uni-freiburg.de).
We are glad to announce the publication of the inaugural issue of History of Classical Scholarship, a new Open Access journal exclusively devoted to the history of the studies on the Greek and Roman world.
We invite contributions on any aspects of the history of classical studies, in any geographical context, from the Middle Ages to the twentieth century, and are keen to host papers covering the whole range of the discipline: from ancient history to literary studies, from epigraphy and numismatics to art history and archaeology, from textual criticism to religious and linguistic studies. We also welcome editions of significant items from the Nachlässe of classical scholars, including letters and documents that may shed light on matters of historical or historiographical interest.
We publish papers in English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish.
The contents of the journal are accessible at https://www.hcsjournal.org. Submissions and informal queries may be addressed to the Editors, Lorenzo Calvelli (lorenzoc@unive.it) and Federico Santangelo (federico.santangelo@ncl.ac.uk)
