Tragedy and Comedy often present their heroes as wanderers: whether that is the exiled Oedipus, the hunted Orestes, the itinerant satyrs and their father Silenus, or the comic protagonist Pisetaerus in search for a better life in Cloud Cuckoo-land.<\/div>\n<div>The conference brings together international scholars and experts on ancient drama to consider why this (sometimes neglected) theme is so prominent in ancient drama. Recent scholarship has shown that the context of ancient dramatic performance extended far beyond the single city of Athens and that both audience members and performers were frequently travellers moving between festivals. This event will explore the ways in which tragedy and comedy were concerned not merely with the Greek city (or polis) but with the spaces between ancient cities and sanctuaries, on roads and sea lanes filled with wanderers and exiles, travellers, traders and tourists.<\/div>\n<div>This event is for anyone interested in ancient drama, including tragedy, satyr play and comedy, and classical antiquity in general. Undergraduate and postgraduate students are most welcome.<\/div>\n<p class=\"default-style\">Full details and registration are available here&lt;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nottingham.ac.uk\/humanities\/departments\/classics-and-archaeology\/news-and-events\/events\/2019\/departing-the-polis-conference.aspx%3E\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.nottingham.ac.uk\/humanities\/departments\/classics-and-archaeology\/news-and-events\/events\/2019\/departing-the-polis-conference.aspx&gt;<\/a>.
