Marco Fantuzzi is Professor of Classics in the School of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences at the University of Roehampton, London. Previously, he held significant academic positions including Professor of Ancient Greek Literature at the University of Macerata, Associate Professor of Ancient Greek Literature at the University of Florence, and Lecturer in Ancient Greek Literature at the University of Trento. He also served as Visiting Professor of Greek at Columbia University for a semester each year from 2006 to 2015.
His educational background includes a BA in Classics from the University of Bologna (1979) and graduate studies at the University of Pisa (1984-1986) supported by a Fellowship for Graduate Studies. Fantuzzi has held numerous prestigious fellowships including at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, the University of Cincinnati, Wolfson College Cambridge, and King's College London.
Professor Fantuzzi's research centers on Ancient Greek literature with particular expertise in Hellenistic poetry, bucolic poetry, epic poetry, and Greek tragedy. His scholarship often examines intertextuality, literary criticism, and philological approaches to classical texts. He has made significant contributions to the study of Theocritus, Apollonius Rhodius, and the Rhesus attributed to Euripides, with a particular focus on how ancient authors engaged with and transformed earlier traditions.
His recent publications demonstrate continued exploration of pastoral poetry, the representation of eros in bucolic literature, and the reception of Homeric themes in later Greek literature. Fantuzzi's work frequently bridges literary analysis with historical and cultural contexts, revealing nuanced understandings of ancient literary production and reception.
