Publications

pindar sappho

My publications center mainly around the culture, history, and literature of the late Archaic and early Classical periods in ancient Greece: that is, the 6th and 5th centuries BCE. I am interested in issues of ethnicity and identity in these centuries, as well as in the expression and use of identity in a variety of poetic performances. To this end I have published on epic, Sappho, and Herodotus; my book analyzes the evidence for collective notions of identity in the ancient region of Boiotia in the late 6th and early 5th centuries BCE. Since its publication, I am working on new long book project on Pindar, a poet from Boiotia who performed at the most well attended and prestigious venues of his time, like the Olympic games at Olympia.
