Research Interests
My main area of research is the fragments of Sophocles, in particular those plays which dramatised the Trojan epic cycle. More generally, I am interested in Greek tragedy and its influence upon later Greek and Roman literature, and in the methodological issues involved in dealing with fragmentary texts.
