Professor Ioannis Ziogas holds a position in the Department of Classics and Ancient History at Durham University. His research focuses on Latin poetry from the Augustan period, particularly the interplay between law and literature, reception studies, and gender narratives. He has authored two major monographs: Law and Love in Ovid: Courting Justice in the Age of Augustus (2021) and Ovid and Hesiod: The Metamorphosis of the Catalogue of Women (2013). His work examines Hesiod's influence on Ovid, legal discourse in Augustan poetry, and spatial constructions in epic narratives.
Education details: Studied in Greece and the United States before working in Australia, though specific institutions are not mentioned. His academic career transitioned to Durham University in 2016.
Research Interests: Ziogas explores the politics and poetics of Latin poetry, with emphasis on Augustan-era works. His interests extend to classical reception in modern literature (e.g., David Malouf, Salman Rushdie) and gender studies in ancient texts. He has co-edited volumes on spatial configurations in epic, wordplay in Latin poetry, and legal discourse in Roman literature.
Outreach and Teaching: Offers public talks on Ovid's Metamorphoses, law in Latin elegy, and Virgil's Aeneid's Augustan reception. Supervises doctoral students in Latin poetry, law-classical literature intersections, and Hellenistic poetic reception.
Publications: Over 20 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters, including analyses of Ovid's legal language, Hesiodic reception, and classical myths in modern contexts. His work spans classical scholarship, modern adaptations, and interdisciplinary legal-literary studies.
