We welcome special guest, David Stuttard for an in-class webinar event, “Singing of Troy: Imagining a Heroic Age from the Iliad to the Aeneid.”

David Stuttard’s most recent book, “Phoenix: A Father, a Son, and the Rise of Athens,” is a “vivid, novelistic history of the rise of Athens from relative obscurity to the edge of its golden age, told through the lives of Miltiades and Cimon, the father and son whose defiance of Persia vaulted Athens to a leading place in the Greek world.”

As well as being a professional lecturer and author, David Stuttard founded the touring theatre company Actors of Dionysus, which specializes in classical Greek drama. He has also written dramatic reconstructions of the lost Euripides plays Alexandros and Palamedes, which were premiered as part of 'The Trojan Trilogy' at the British Museum.
