Statement of Interests
I teach the Greek language at all levels, from beginning Greek to graduate
seminars, Greek culture and literature translation, beginning and intermediate
Latin, and ancient philosophy. My two main research interests are ancient
philosophy and Greek tragedy. I have published books on Aristotle's
Poetics, and on Greek tragedy, and articles on Greek tragedy and
ancient philosophy. I am now doing research for a book on Socrates,
the erotic philosopher. I am a member of the Classical Civilization
Faculty, and an adjunct member of the Department of Philosophy.
