             My name is Katarzyna Kołakowska. I work at the Department of Greek Studies in the Institute of Classical Studies at the Catholic University of Lublin. I am interested in Pre-socratic and Platonic philosophy as well as in mythology, drama, and religion of ancient Greece, with special emphasis on its cult and ritual aspects. Within the scope of my interest are also the relations between ancient and contemporary culture, i.e. film, music, literature, and painting, along with the exploration of the elements of ancient Greeks’ legacy as related to these fields. A couple of years ago I became fascinated by the papyri and everything connected with their deciphering. Because of that since the beginning of this year I have participated in papyrology classes in the Institute of Archaeology at the University of Warsaw. In my research I try to show the complexity of the problems associated with ancient Greek literature, emphasizing its multi-layered character.
