Workshop in Leiden: The Antikythera Mechanism: Science and Innovation in the Ancient World
The aim of this workshop is to promote a cross-disciplinary dialogue between classicists, astronomers, archaeologists, mathematicians, and historians on the subject of science and innovation in antiquity around a common theme: the Antikythera Mechanism. Our aim is to place the mechanism, and ancient science in general, explicitly in their wider cultural, literary, and scientific context.
