Research Topic: Xenophon's Odysseus: Homer's Fourth-Century Nostos
Damon Hatheway is a PhD candidate in Classical Studies at Boston University. His dissertation investigates Homer’s influence on Xenophon’s corpus, with focus on the Anabasis, Memorabilia and Symposium. At the American School, Damon is exploring the significance of the cult of Ephesian Artemis to Xenophon’s life at Scillus and the role of metics and other foreigners in the Poroi. While in Athens Damon looks forward to watching Panathinaikos F.C. and B.C. and hopes to learn how to drive a manual.
