This volume presents a collection of essays originally delivered at a two-part symposium entitled “An Intermedial Dialogue about Classics”. Each symposium was part of a project of which the first session took place at the University of Potsdam between the 9th and 15th of March 2019 and the second at the University of Athens between the 20th and 26th of October 2019. What these Proceedings reflect is only a small part of the fruitful and thought-provoking interchange between scholars of different academic and cultural backgrounds during this project. Reading groups, workshops, and guided tours of museums and archeological sites were the forms of this interdisciplinary and interacademic communication. The selected papers do, however, depict both the diversity of the different discussion topics and the necessity to critically redefine and radically transform several concepts and key figures of aesthetics.
