The Leventis Initiative

The A. G. Leventis Foundation have for some years funded a postgraduate studentship at Exeter. Currently, there is a Leventis-funded initiative on the impact of Greek on non-Greek culture in antiquity. This supports a lecturer, Dr Myrto Hatzimichali, who works on Greek scholarship and its impact on other cultures in the Hellenistic period, especially in connection with the Library of Alexandria, and a second postgraduate studentship. There will be an international conference at Exeter in 2013 on the impact of Greek on non-Greek culture.
