For 2026\, we focus on Republic Book III\, in which Socrates continues his criticism of poetry and explores heroic role models and athletic training in the education of the guardians.&nbsp\;Participants will read and translate the text in a roundtable setting while discussing its philosophical content\; they may also present papers on relevant topics. Competence reading Ancient Greek is recommended but not required\; the instructor will translate and explain as needed. The workshop takes place in scenic Ortigia\, where the winter weather is mild and the island is active but peaceful.</em></p>\n<p><strong>Deadlines:</strong> October 15 (early abstracts &amp\; financial aid)\; December 15 (final abstracts &amp\; registration)</p>\n<p><strong>Faculty</strong>: George Gazis\, University of Durham\; Heather L.
