The Nordic Library is delighted to welcome Julie Spottag, who started her 15-weeks long joint intership at the library and the Danish Institute at Athens earlier in September. In the library she will work with collection management and acquisitions, as well as being a part of the daily operations.

She is student from Aarhus University, where she is currently finishing her master's degree in Classical Philology. Her research focuses primarily on works of Seneca and the character of Heracles in both ancient Greek literature and in Greek-Roman archaeology.

She is also looking forward to becoming more fluent in the modern Greek language.

Καλή αρχή!
