Official Fellow in Classics

I am Simon and I teach Greek literature at King’s. I love the cut and thrust of supervisions and the way Greek literature can change your life. I have been particularly involved in studying tragedy, and I have been lucky enough also to work with professional theatres in London to see how tragedy plays in today’s world. All too easily, you might think... I have lectured all over the world, and have done a good bit of TV and radio. But the life-blood of an academic is teaching, and King’s has proved the best place I have ever come across for this experience.
