Lucia Athanassaki has taught Greek and Latin at the University of Crete for almost thirty years. Previously, she taught Greek and Latin at the University of Virginia (1990-91) and, as a graduate student, at Brown University (1983-90). She has published extensively on lyric poetry (mainly but not exclusively Greek), Greek tragedy and more recently the literature of the Graeco-Roman period (Plutarch in particular). In the past fifteen years her research has focused on the interaction of poetry as performance with monumental iconography. She holds a B.A (in Philology/Classics) from the University of Athens and a Ph.D. (in Classics) from Brown University.
