In April 2022, a celebration was held at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań in honour of Prof. Jerzy Danielewicz, a brilliant Hellenist of international renown and one of the most prolific translators of Greek literature into Polish, on the golden jubilee of his doctorate. An account of this event is followed by the speech Prof. Danielewicz delivered on that occasion, in which he points to his place in the community of Classicists in Poznań across time.
