why

Ancient world interactions between groups led to an inevitable
amount of borrowing from one another. The study of emulation and
imitation in antiquity can be approached from many angles, through
such topics as the borrowing of literary forms from other cultures or
individuals, the formation of political identity, the mass production of luxury
goods in cheaper materials, or the diffusion of art styles. Reception with
Egyptologist Robert Ritner, University of Chicago, Friday evening,
full-day symposium Saturday.
