• The intellectual history of classical Athens
• The sophistic movement
• Athenian law and oratory
• Thucydides' historiography
• Fifth-century drama, especially Aeschylus and Euripides
• Fifth- and fourth-century Hippocratic texts
• Literary theory, especially comparative and audience-oriented approaches
• The relationship between text and context, form and content
• Literary communication in early and classical Greece.
