This event is open to the public.
The starting point of this seminar is the remarkable circumstance that, in patristic texts, mythological seeresses—namely, the Sibyls—appear as mouthpieces of Christian doctrinal content. What may at first glance seem a mere curiosity—with well-known repercussions in art history—in fact opens up a perspective on the far broader and more complex problem of the relationship between antiquity and Christianity. Through selected case studies, the evocation of the Sibyl(s) and the texts attributed to them will therefore be examined, in contrast to previous scholarship, as a reciprocally creative encounter between Greco-Roman and Christian antiquity, without conceiving either as a static entity, and thus as offering a representative contribution to the transformation of the ancient world.
