Presentation

Luca Lorenzon graduated in Classical Languages and Letters in 2019. He is currently preparing a doctoral thesis at the University of Liège under the joint supervision of Vinciane Pirenne-Delforge (ULiège - Collège de France) and Stefano Caneva (Università di Padova). His research focuses on the cult honors paid to human beings in ancient Greece. More specifically, he is interested in how the Greeks themselves conceived ritual practices establishing an equivalence between the recipients of cultic honors and traditional divinities. He also contributes to the Collection of Greek Ritual Norms (CGRN) and Practicalities of Hellenistic Ruler Cults (PHRC) projects.
