DESCRIPTION:Recent decades have seen a rapid development in comparative st
 udies of ancient Greece and early China\, reflecting an ever-increasing re
 alisation for the need of a cross-cultural engagement with the classics. B
 ut what benefits does a comparative approach bring to the study of the anc
 ient world? What are the methodological challenges and how should one go a
 bout comparing? This talk addresses these questions and shows how this up-
 and-coming area of research has great potential in creating new sets of qu
 estions for anyone who is interested in cross-cultural categories.\n\nJing

 ative work on ancient Greece and China for much of her research career\, a
