Dr George Gazis is an Associate Professor in Greek Literature and Philosophy at Durham University's Department of Classics and Ancient History. His research focuses on Archaic Greek Epic and Lyric, Plato’s Academy, Athenian drama, and Bronze Age Aegean studies. He authored Homer and the Poetics of Hades (OUP, 2018) and edited volumes on death in Greek literature and Homeric studies in Sicily. Current projects include a monograph on spectral phenomena in Athenian tragedy and an edition of the Letters of Euripides.
Research interests emphasize mortality and afterlife narratives across Homeric epics, lyric poetry, and Platonic dialogues. He explores cognitive interpretations of tragic performance and Mycenaean socio-economic systems via Linear B records. His work bridges literary analysis with material culture studies in the Bronze Age Aegean.
