Greene specializes in Hellenistic poetry, ancient historiography, and paradoxographical literature with deep expertise in Callimachus studies. His research bridges literary analysis with historical context, exploring intersections between Greek/Roman literature, early Christian apocrypha, and cultural history of wonder-telling. Key methodologies include textual criticism, reception studies, and gender analysis within ancient frameworks.
Publication trends (2011-2023) reveal sustained focus on Callimachus' Aetia, paradoxography's social contexts, and New Ancient History approaches. His work demonstrates consistent engagement with fragmentary texts while connecting Hellenistic poetry to broader intellectual currents in ancient historiography and religious studies.
