This conference brings together scholars from the United States, Switzerland, Italy, and Israel who approach the study of dreams in Greco-Roman antiquity from a variety of perspectives (literary, art historical, religious, epigraphic, and historical). While the focus of the papers will be on dreams, the conference seeks to extend the study of nighttime phenomena beyond dream interpretation to include other aspects of the night, such as insomnia, nightmares, and the representation of sleeping figures.

The papers presented at the Swiss Institute and the American Academy over the course of this three day conference will provide wideranging evidence for the importance of dreams and sleep in many aspects of Greek and Roman thought. The conference will feature two keynote lectures, one by Sarah Iles Johnston (Ohio State University) on Wednesday the 13th (AAR) at 6:30pm and one by Fritz Graf (Ohio State University) on Thursday the 14th (ISR) at 6:30pm.

Co-organizers Christine Walde, University of Basel and Emma Scioli, UCLA and American Academy in Rome.
