Dr Martine Cuypers is Lecturer in Greek at Trinity College Dublin. She holds a Ph.D. from Leiden University and has previously worked as a lecturer and research fellow in Hamburg, Leiden, Groningen, Chicago and Washington DC. Her research focuses on epic and the Greek literature and culture of the Hellenistic period and Empire.
Most of my current research focuses on the literature, language and social history of the Hellenistic period and Empire, when Hellenic culture 'went global' and Greek was the lingua franca of much of the eastern Mediterranean and the Near East. Migration and interaction with other cultures (Near-Eastern, Egyptian, Roman) in this period forced writers of Greek to redefine their relationship with the Greek cultural and literary tradition and to re-invent Greekness itself as a cultural rather than an ethnic concept.
