Marianne Wifstrand Schiebe is an Associate Professor in Latin at Uppsala University's Department of Linguistics and Philology within the Faculty of Languages. She maintains an active research profile with publications spanning classical philology, ancient philosophy, and classical reception studies, with her most recent works appearing in 2024. Professor Wifstrand Schiebe's primary research focuses on anthropomorphism in ancient religious thought, particularly examining how ancient philosophers conceptualized the human form of gods. Her groundbreaking 2020 monograph Das anthropomorphe Gottesbild: Berechtigung und Ursprung aus der Sicht antiker Denker systematically investigates ancient philosophical theories about the origins of anthropomorphic divine representations, challenging previous scholarly assumptions about allegorical exegesis and myth interpretation. She has also made significant contributions to Vergil studies, particularly regarding the Golden Age concept in the Aeneid and medieval Christian interpretations of the Eclogues. Her publication record reveals a consistent scholarly trajectory exploring the intersection of philosophy, religion, and literature in antiquity, with particular attention to Euhemerism, Varro's theological works, and the reception of classical texts in medieval contexts. Recent publications demonstrate continued engagement with Lactantius, Prodicus, and Greek inscriptions, showing both depth in her core research areas and breadth across classical scholarship. Professor Wifstrand Schiebe has received research funding from the Swedish Research Council and E. O. Burmans fond at Uppsala University. She has presented her work at major academic institutions including Uppsala, Stockholm, Lund, Tromsø, and Leuven, and organized a workshop on Philosophical Attitudes to the Anthropomorphic Image of the Divine at Uppsala in 2015 with international participants from Göttingen and Rouen. Her scholarly activities extend to editorial work, including co-editing Dais Philesistephanos: Studies in Honour of Professor Staffan Fogelmark (2004), and she has contributed to the study of Annius of Viterbo's influence on Swedish historiography, revealing how 15th-century forgeries shaped national prehistory narratives in early modern Sweden.
