The blog aggregates news about publications, activities, etc. related to Egyptian/Arabic scholarship in the field of Greco-Roman studies and thus seeks to challenge the Eurocentrism prevalent in the field. It aims also at directing the attention to relevant materials from modern nonacademic/public contexts; roughly from 1798-to the present. The news comes mainly from Egypt without excluding other Arabic countries.

The last days of Socrates: A Greek philosopher in a Lebanese flavor !
This time a theatrical performance but not from Egypt, but Lebanon. A musical theatrical play called "The Last days of Socrates". It is about Socrates and Athens, but it is a political-charged play about modern day Lebanon. One of the performer is the famous Lebanese musician and actress Carole Samaha. Enjoy !
