Academic interests
I have a wide interest in literature, religion and culture of the archaic Greek period, and specialize in the Homeric Hymns and the cult to Demeter at Eleusis. I also enjoy narratology, with a focus on the narratological concept of space. I have some experience in ancient history, archaeology, epigraphy, and champion an interdisciplinary approach to the study of antiquity.
My current research on the goddess Hecate in archaic literature and cult.
