Panagiota Sarischouli

Panagiota Sarischouli is Professor of Ancient Greek and Papyrology in the Department of Classics at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, and currently a visiting professor at the University of Heidelberg. She received her Ph.D. in Classics from the Freie Universität Berlin in 1994, with a dissertation on Berlin papyri, and subsequently held a research position at the Egyptian Museum and Papyrus Collection in Berlin (1995-1998). Her scholarly work is primarily concerned with the critical edition of Greek literary, sub-literary, and documentary papyri, and-over the past decade-has broadened to encompass the intricate interplay between religion and magic in Roman Egypt. Her latest book, Decoding the Osirian Myth: A Transcultural Reading of Plutarch's Narrative, offers a transcultural analysis of diverse mythological and religious traditions, exploring Plutarch's rendition of the Osirian myth and its interconnections with both Egyptian and Greek sources. She is also the Principal Investigator of the NOMINA project, a comprehensive initiative aimed at systematically cataloging and analyzing the Graeco-Egyptian voces magicae, with particular emphasis on their transcultural significance and linguistic intricacies.
