Robin Mitchell-Boyask

My research interests include Greek drama, Homer, Vergil and Comparative Literature, and I have published a number of articles on Euripides, Sophocles, the Aeneid, and comparative approaches to Greek tragedy. My first book, Approaches to Teaching the Dramas of Euripides was published by the MLA in 2002, and Focus issued my translation and commentary on Euripides' Hecuba in 2006. My monograph Plague and the Athenian Imagination: Drama, History, and the Cult of Asclepius, was published by Cambridge University Press in 2008, and my study of the Eumenides of Aeschylus also appeared in 2009 with Duckworth. I am currently co-editor of the journal Classical World.

(After a long time away from Latin poetry, I am sneaking back to Vergil. Please don't tell anybody.)

I have been a Junior Fellow at the Center for Hellenic Studies (1993-94), and, during 2005, I was a Visiting Fellow at Wolfson College, University of Cambridge.

I teach courses in the Greek and Latin languages, classical mythology, ancient epic and Greek drama. I had the good fortune to win the Ketels Award for teaching in Intellectual Heritage and the Eleanore Hofkin Award for Excellence in Teaching from CLA.
