Euripides Helen, A Tragicomic Musical of Mistaken Identity and Marital Fidelity, A chorus of 8 dancing to new ancient music

John Franklin has taught Greek and Latin language and literature, especially epic, lyric and comedy, with occasional escapades into the Ancient Near East, and music archeology. Much of his research has dealt with early Greek cultural history at the Near Eastern interface(s), focusing especially on the interaction of poetic/musical traditions, always in hopes of elucidating broader issues. His undergraduate background, in music composition and electronic music (B.M. new England Conservatory 1988), remains an influence: the history of ancient music technology, both physical and conceptual, is crucial to his research.

Free and open to the public!
