The Societas Ovidiana welcomes proposals for an in-person panel to be held at the International Congress on Medieval Studies (ICMS) on May 8-10, 2025.

This panel invites new perspectives on the relationship between Dante and Ovid.

Proposals might consider, but are not limited to the topics of:

• New assessments in the light of recent theoretical or methodological developments
• Thematic affiliations, such as love and desire, exile, mythography, gender, authority
• Form, such as dreams and visions, metrical form, or other aspects of poetics
• The visual tradition, such as manuscript illuminations or medieval art
• Material studies, such as manuscript transmission or palaeography
• Theories of classical reception and source study
• The proliferating aferlives of Dante and Ovid.

Proposals should be submitted by September 15, 2024 at https://wmich.edu/medievalcongress/call.
