17th of January 2010:

Dear Fellows,

The Department of Greek Studies and the Institute of Classical Studies at the Catholic University of Lublin are pleased to invite you to participate in the conference 'Colloquia Orphica' devoted to the problems related to Orphic religion, which will take place in the days from the 6th (supper) to the 9th (breakfast) of October in Nieborów.

This will be already the second such meeting organized by our Institute. The organization of this symposium is an answer to increasing interest in the subject area of Orphism along with its various aspects and manifestations in many areas of life of the ancient, especially in light of the recent findings in the field of papyrology. Our intention is to enable the meeting and discussion over these fascinating questions, so papers concerning every possible aspect of Orphism will be welcome.

The previous edition, arranged in October 2009, united the research of Polish and classical philologists, historians, educationists, sociologists and biblists, demonstrating the broadness and multilayerness of Orphism. Because of that we decided to repeat the meeting in its established form also this year.

Conference fee is 430 zlotys and should be paid until 15th of July 2010 to the following account:
