Notes on Contributors
Seth Estrin is Assistant Professor in Art History at the University of Chicago. He has published on Minoan wall painting and grave monuments of the Archaic and Classical periods. His current research focuses on funerary sculpture as a medium of recognition in Classical Athens.
Andrew Ford is the Ewing Professor of Greek Language and Literature at Princeton University. His current work seeks to bring out the interactions between the Greek critical tradition and the poets who read that tradition even as they were being read by it.
Margaret Foster is Associate Professor of Classical Studies at Indiana University. Her work leverages the interpretative strengths of Cultural Poetics’ theoretical framework and the analytical practices of literary formalism. Bringing together these two approaches, she has published on a range of authors, from Homer to Horace, and genres, including epic, tragedy, lyric, and historiography. She is the author of The Seer and the City: Religion, Politics, and Colonial Ideology in Ancient Greece (University of California Press 2018). She is currently working on a book about the politics and polemics of fifth-century epichoric poetry and its generic dialogue with Attic tragedy.
Mark Griffith is Professor of Classics and of Theater, Dance, and Performance Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. His work has focused mostly on Greek drama, literature, and music.
Leslie Kurke is Gladys Rehard Wood Professor of Classics and Comparative Literature at the University of California, Berkeley. Her primary interests are in ancient Greek literature and cultural history—focusing especially on archaic Greek poetry, Herodotus, the ideology of form, and various interactions of word and world, literature and its “others” (the economics of literature, text and popular culture, the dialectic of performed song and place/monuments). Her most recent book, co-authored with Richard Neer, is Pindar, Song, and Space: Towards a Lyric Archaeology.

Deborah Steiner is the John Jay Professor of Greek at Columbia University. Her publications focus chiefly on archaic Greek poetry and explore interactions between the literary and visual sources of the period. A forthcoming manuscript treats notions of chorality in a variety of media in archaic and early classical Greece.
Mario Telò is Professor of Classics at the University of California, Berkeley. His interests are situated at the intersection of materiality, aesthetics, and psychoanalysis. Among his recent publications, The Materialities of Greek Tragedy (co-edited with Melissa Mueller [Bloomsbury 2018]) places Greek tragedy in critical dialogue with the New Materialism. His new book, Archive Feelings: A Theory of Greek Tragedy, is forthcoming in the series “Classical Memories/Modern Identities,” published by Ohio State University Press.
