Her research has focused on the poetry of the Hellenistic period, ancient women writers, and the
interaction of text and image. She is currently working on an edition and commentary for the
epigrams of Meleager for Oxford University Press and an iconographical and literary study of four
mosaics depicting scenes from Menender's comedy, recently discovered at ancient Antioch. Other recent publication interests include forgiveness in ancient drama, the rhetorical uses of the
middle style in literature and art, the Aristotelian Peplos, Apelles and ecphrasis, Catullus and
Greek epigram, and Hellenistic literary theory.
