Marta Antola is a member of the Department of Classics and Ancient History at Durham University, focusing on ancient literature and philosophy. Her doctoral research explores Plato's narrative strategies in five dialogues (Charmides, Lysis, Euthydemus, Protagoras, and Republic), analyzing Socrates' dual role as character and narrator. By combining narratological tools with historical context, her work reinterprets Plato's authorial intent, framing his dialogues as an 'Athenian Odyssey' with parallels to Homer's epic.
Her research emphasizes Plato's engagement with Athenian politics, education, and poetic traditions, arguing that his narrative techniques guide young readers through intellectual challenges. This interdisciplinary approach bridges formal analysis with cultural history, offering new insights into Socratic storytelling.
