I am a citizen of the U.S. 和你.K., and have studied in Switzerland and Germany. My main passion outside of reading, teaching and research is travel. My research focus is on 荷马ic epic, which I usually investigate in terms of other material, such as contemporary epic traditions; Near Eastern myth and architecture; and 希腊 religious practice. I am currently at work on a commentary to the first four Books of the 《澳门金沙线上赌博官网》 for Valla (details under “Selected Publications”). I also recently joined the Scientific Board of Studi Italiani de Filologia Classica.
