Research Overview

The field of my research is ancient Greek literature. I am particularly interested in Greek tragedy of the fifth century BCE, what importance it held, as a dramatic institution, within the social discourse of democratic Athens. My interest also includes Mediterranean motifs such as hospitality, revenge and supplication as treated in the literary tradition of classical antiquity.
