Trends in Classics – Greek and Roman Humanities Encyclopedia

Trends in Classics – Greek and Roman Humanities Encyclopedia is an innovative reference work. While it presents itself as one comprehensive encyclopedia of Ancient Greek and Roman Humanities, it is organized as a set of interconnected encyclopedias, each one providing a validated and balanced representation of a specific subject.

Scholars and readers will find extensive and detailed up-to-date treatment of key topics in each entry of GROH, ranging from the history of research to open perspectives and new trends. Besides the classic encyclopedic approach, extensive metadata will allow to search the content for persons, periods, places, and subjects.

The following subjects will be covered by GROH:

• Scholarship
• Historiography
• Epic
• Drama
• Rhetoric
• Lyric
• Medicine

The organization by subjects is unique to GROH. GROH stands out for the scope and detail of its entries; its content is the sum, but also the product of collaboration between highly specialized scholars in the field. The work builds up on the expanding and productive Trends in Classics cluster. It will bring together international scholars of Classics from different universities and traditions: work at GROH will promote collaboration and communication between scholars from different institutions and backgrounds.
