Research Interests

My current research is focussed on the historian Herodotus with particular emphasis on

1. the types of anger he portrays,
2. his interest in names as a measure of fame,
3. the pattern of triads that abound in his work.

Other areas in which I have work in progress includes

• Aeschylus’ use of etymologies of proper names
• verbal abundance in Aristophanes
• and the history and cultural significance of the bear in antiquity
