Blog Post #79: Graduate Student Feature with Katerina Apokatanidis
This week we interview PhD student Katarina Apokatanidis from the University of Toronto. Katarina takes us through her research into the ever fascinating Orphic tablets – gold funerary tablets placed in Greek tombs to guide the soul to a good afterlife.
