Edith Hall

Professor of Classics, Durham University
Professor of Classics at Durham University and Fellow of the British Academy. I’m a classicist, originally focused on Ancient Greek theatre. I’ve spent most of my career blending data from ancient Greek literature with sociology, history, political theory and philosophy. I like to write about the ancient world in its holistic form, relating individuals and their ideas to important cultural, historical and political moments.
