Revisiting the Work of Martin P. Nilsson

Welcome to a symposium and book release in honour of Martin P. Nilsson on Tuesday, December 3, 2024, at Lund University, lecture hall LUX:C121 (LUX Building, Helgonavägen 3). 

The book to be presented, “The pen fell from my hand when I was in my eighty-sixth year.” Revisiting the work of Martin P. Nilsson, originates in a conference held in Athens in 2017 and explores the rich and multifaceted work of the Swedish scholar of ancient Greek religion, Martin P. Nilsson. Five prominent scholars working on Greek religion have been invited to revisit major publications of Nilsson, in order to explore whether his works today are mainly touched upon with just the usual obligatory references or if they still have an active impact on contemporary discourses. Hopefully, this undertaking will stimulate others to explore the vast landscape of Nilsson’s work in the future.

If you cannot participate in the presentation in Lund, the entire volume is available open access by download at: https://ecsi.se/actaath-8-24/
