In the <i>Metamorphoses, <\/i>the Roman poet Ovid also includes the story of the nymph Echo\u2019s unrequited love for Narcissus. Rejected by him, she begins to fade away until she exists only as a disembodied voice. The myth was also a popular subject of wall paintings in and around Pompeii. In this paper, I discuss the relationship between the textual and figurative representations of Echo\u2019s voice, and I explore the aesthetic problem of painting a voice.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Zoom link: <a href=\"https:\/\/utoronto.zoom.us\/j\/86786144716\">https:\/\/utoronto.zoom.us\/j\/86786144716<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Co-sponsored by the <a href=\"https:\/\/iictoronto.esteri.it\/iic_toronto\/it\/\">Istituto Italiano di Cultura<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/arthistory.utoronto.ca\/\">University of Toronto Department of Art History<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-961 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/CIMS-logo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"192\" height=\"126\" \/> \u00a0\u00a0 <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-992 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/UT-Art-History-logo-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"124\" height=\"124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/UT-Art-History-logo-1.png 225w, https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/UT-Art-History-logo-1-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/UT-Art-History-logo-1-85x85.png 85w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 124px) 100vw, 124px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1002 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Istituto-Italiano-2-300x154.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"238\" height=\"122\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Istituto-Italiano-2-300x154.png 300w, https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Istituto-Italiano-2-768x395.png 768w, https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Istituto-Italiano-2-440x226.png 440w, https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/Istituto-Italiano-2.png 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 238px) 100vw, 238px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mariapia Pietropaolo, McMaster University<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"spay_email":"","_tribe_events_status":"","_tribe_events_status_reason":"","footnotes":""},"tags":[42,25,26],"tribe_events_cat":[18],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/987"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tribe_events"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=987"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/987\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1087,"href":"https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events\/987\/revisions\/1087"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=987"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=987"},{"taxonomy":"tribe_events_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mediterraneanstudies.ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tribe_events_cat?post=987"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
