Princeton Classics

The Princeton Classics Department investigates the history, language, literature, and thought of ancient Greece and Rome. We use the perspectives of multiple disciplines to understand and imagine the diversity of these civilizations over almost two thousand years and to reflect on what the classical past has meant to later ages, and to our own.

In Conversation with Uberto Pasolini: From Homer’s “Odyssey” to Film and Media Studies at Princeton

Princeton enjoyed a special screening of The Return and discussion with the film’s director, Uberto Pasolini, and Barbara Graziosi, Chair of the Classics Department, along with Rachael DeLue, director of the Humanities Initiative, and fellow art & archaeology faculty member Carolina Mangone, who is also the director of the Program in Italian Studies.
