Thesis Title: The Past in Demosthenes and Aeschines
Gunther Martin (Fellow of Lady Margaret Hall)
Faculty Advisor: Christopher Pelling (Regius Professor of Greek, Christ Church)
About
My principal focus throughout has been, and will be, on the Attic orators and Demosthenes and Aeschines in particular, though I have a more general interest in fourth-century Greece, from angles both literary and historical. Other (and rather various) enthusiasms: Attic tragedy; biography in general; all aspects of Cicero; Republican aristocratic culture; reception of Classical oratory (esp. 18th/19th c. Britain and France). Lesbos, Samos, Messenia, Chalcidice (in all periods).
I previously read for the Final Honour School of Literae Humaniores at Balliol College, finishing in June 2008, and for the M.St. in Classical Languages and Literature (having migrated to Merton College to take up a Domus Scholarship), finishing in June 2009.
