“Americans and the Experience of Delphi<\/em>,” June 24-26, Delphi, Greece.<\/h3>\n

Presented by the Richard Stockton College Interdisciplinary Center for Hellenic Studies; Executive Director: Tom Papademetriou, Conference Director, David Roessel.<\/p>\n

On one side of the Philadelphia Art Museum stands a replica of the famous statue of \u201cThe Charioteer\u201d in the archaeological museum of Delphi. The statue is more than simply a copy of a famous work of art; it also represents a cultural matrix linked to the ancient shrine of Apollo at Delphi, a matrix that centers on what it means to be human and happy as encapsulated in the phrases \u201cknow yourself\u201d and \u201cnothing in excess.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0Often in current discourse \u201cGreek\u201d or \u201cHellenic\u201d is taken as a single ideological construct, but \u201cGreece\u201d as an idea is polymorphous and multicultural, and Delphi occupies a key place within that ideological construct.\u00a0 By understanding what it meant, and continues to mean, in the modern age, we take a step toward knowing ourselves.\u00a0 And within that step, of course, lies the meaning of Apollo\u2019s sanctuary.<\/p>\n

Participants in this symposium examined the work of American and European artists, writers, and scholars who stood at the ancient site and, like the founders of the famed Provincetown Players, George Cram Cook and Susan Glaspell, inhabited Delphi in body and mind.\u00a0\u00a0Participants analyzed how the \u201cspirit\u201d of Delphi inspired individuals, and how they in turn infused that spirit into American literature and culture, presenting, in addition to Glaspell and Cook, papers on Isadora Duncan, Eva Palmer Sikelianos and her role in the Delphic Festivals of the 1920s, H. D., Henry Miller, and James Merrill.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
