Short presentation

I am a part of DigPhil - the research school for Digital Philology - and my current research revolves around Greek and Byzantine narrative fictions, from around 50 CE to 15th century CE.

I am interested in narratological aspects, language, literary history, cultural history and conceptual history.

Research

My project focuses on studying ancient and medieval Greek fiction literature, originating in the first century AD and continuing until the fall of the Byzantine Empire in 1453. I perform comparative studies on this small corpus of texts using traditional literary theories combined with computational tools. The overall objective is to point out how these narratives continue an old tradition, at the same time as they receive inspiration from other culture/language spheres.
