With a Master's degree in Classical Languages and Literatures, Ginevra Benedetti will graduate in the spring of 2022, as part of a cotutelle between the University of Pisa and the Université Toulouse-Jean-Jaurès. In her thesis, she studied the divine naming of the god Panthe(i)os / Pantheus in the Greco-Roman world of the Imperial period, and analyzed the profile of this divinity whose name associates a totality. From a historical-religious point of view, the aim is to understand the emergence of dedications to this type of power, while defining whether and to what extent it can still be inscribed within a polytheistic religious framework or must already be associated with tendencies towards monotheism.
Winner of the Anna Caroppo Fellowship - Fondation du Collège de France (2021), Ginevra Benedetti has joined the Chairin Religion, History and Society in the Ancient Greek World as a postdoctoral researcher. Her current research focuses on the iconographic study of ancient artistic artifacts known under the modern label of " pantheistic representations ", featuring an image that displays, by grouping them together, a greater or lesser number of divine attributes.
