On Thursday (Feb. 19) at 2:30 pm, the Department of Classics at Colorado College in Colorado Springs will host an in-person lecture by Dr. Mary Danisi (Cornell University) entitled “Charicleia’s Tainia (ταινία) and the Classical Tradition.” Dr. Danisi will speak in the Steven Fuller Event Space, Tutt Library on the CC campus on this thesis: The fillet (tainia), or woven ritual band, plays a key role in the ancient Greek novel Charicleia and Theagenes by Heliodorus. Charicleia, an Ethiopian princess separated from her household at birth, must find her way home while wearing a tainia originally woven by her mother and bearing a record of her lineage. As the inscribed band recurringly remains unread, unrecognized, and unbelieved, the author reformulates how we might come to know the limits of natural and artificial kinship—and, at a meta level, of literary descent in Greek texts of the Roman Empire. Although monumental ruins dominate visions of the classical Mediterranean, this talk imagines a softer antiquity, woven from the reproductive power of textiles.
- Additionally, The Archaeological Institute of America, Boulder Society regularly gives advance notice of events pertaining to Classical Antiquity on its website.
