She analyzes how ancient texts inform and are reinterpreted in modern contexts, particularly through themes like disguise and recognition in the Odyssey.
Publication Trends: Her scholarship spans critical editions of Greek texts, analyses of choral roles in tragedy, and studies of classical reception in children’s literature and modern culture. Recent works focus on anachronism, identity, and the ethical dimensions of ancient narratives.
