In October The Aegean Center hosted the symposium:
ARCHILOCHOS AND HIS AGE
A PRELIMINARY SYMPOSIUM

The symposium was sponsored by The Department of Classical Studies and The Office of International Affairs, Duke University, USA

This symposium is preliminary to the conference on "Archilochos and his Age" to be sponsored by the Paros Municipality and held on Paros during "The Year of Archilochos" in 2005, in which the Center will again be involved in organizing and hosting.
