Biography
I predominantly work on Ancient Greek and Roman historiography, especially Thucydides and Sallust. I am interested in various aspects of these historians’ works, including their literary features, their historical contexts, and their reception; but I am most interested in their political thought. My first book, 'Language and Civil Conflict in the Greco-Roman Tradition', is forthcoming in CUP's 'Ideas in Context' series in September 2026. I am also completing a 'New Surveys in the Classics' volume on Thucydides. I am currently working on the Athenian revolution of 411BCE. Articles of mine have been published in journals such as Classical Antiquity, Journal of the History of Ideas, Classical Philology, and Arion: you can find details of my publications on my Academia.edu page (https://cambridge.academia.edu/DanielSutton).
