Welcome Professor Nathan Levine!
The Department of Classics welcomed Nathan Levine, Ph.D., on October 8, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. in Marie Mount Hall. The event was well attended by members of the campus community, including faculty, staff, and students from Classics and related disciplines, as well as members of the broader community.
Professor Levine received his B.A. in Classics from Columbia University and his Ph.D. in Classics from the University of California, Berkeley. His research focuses on Homer and Homeric receptions, Hellenistic Judaism, and histories of books and textual scholarship. His current book project, Homer & the Bible: Orality, Writtenness, & the History of Texts, offers a critical history of the concept of orality in the classical and biblical traditions from antiquity to the present.
Professor Levine teaches a range of courses from Greek and Latin language to the Homeric epics, book history, and Jews and Christians in the Greco-Roman world. He also enjoys offering lectures and courses on the ancient world to the broader community.
