We were excited to welcome Robert Romanchuk for an Online Open House entitled “Oral tradition as rhetorical resource in the Old Slavic translation of Digenis Akritis.” The event took place on Friday, April 9 at 11:00 a.m. EDT and was recorded. You can watch on the Center for Hellenic Studies YouTube Channel, or in the frame below.
