 The first issue of Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Studies produced entirely at the University of Cincinnati has just been published.

Founded at Harvard in 1958, the journal is dedicated to the literature and history of Greek-speaking peoples from the Bronze Age through the fall of Constantinople in 1453. This issue includes articles on legal proceedings in Classical Athens, Plutarch’s moral philosophy, an epitome of Aristotle, Byzantine book epigrams, and a previously unpublished Byzantine poem describing a toothache.

This open-access journal is edited by Marion Kruse and Zoe Stamatopoulou.
