Our mission<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Laboratory for the Study of Latin Language, Literature, and Culture (\u03a3\u03a4\u0395\u039b\u0391\/LARES) of the Department of Humanities at Democritus University of Thrace is dedicated to meeting research and educational needs related to Latin language, literature, and culture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It promotes research on philological editions, commentaries, and translations of Latin texts from all periods. Additionally, the Laboratory supports the study and interpretation of Latin literature using modern methodological tools and interdisciplinary approaches, incorporating fields such as digital humanities, ecocriticism, post-humanism, cognitive studies, reception theory, and gender studies, among others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u03a3\u03a4\u0395\u039b\u0391\/LARES also aims to promote Classics and Humanities in general, with a focus on the intellectual legacy of Roman civilization as an essential part of both Modern Greek and European cultural traditions. The Laboratory also strives to build partnerships with academic institutions and research centres, both in Greece and internationally, fostering collaboration and the exchange of scholarly expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
