Peter Gainsford

I come from Wellington, New Zealand, which is also where I am currently living. I am first and foremost a Classicist, specialising in early Greek literature, especially Homer and other epics.

The Greek font archive, and LATO, the Library of Ancient Texts Online, are more general resources. The font archive is just what it sounds like: a list of fonts with links to copies of them for download. LATO is a compilation of links to online editions of ancient Greek texts, both in Greek and in translation, but is no longer updated.

Areas of research interest

Greek literature, especially early epic and tragedy
Greek mythology and its development
Narratology (and literary theories generally)
Form and tradition in early Greek poetry: genres, sub-genres ("themes"), and the transmission of literary form

At the moment I have projects going on the Catalogue of Women, the Odyssey, and Dictys of Crete.
