Didaskalia Ancient Theatre Today
"Didaskalia is an electronic resource and journal dedicated to the study of ancient Greek
and Roman drama." The site includes lists of performances, conferences, events, news and
publications on ancient theatre. The conference in Oxford, UK called "Peace, Birds and
Frogs" sounds intriguing. The panel on translating Aristophanes alone would be worth the
trip.
