Dr Adrian Kelly

I did my undergraduate and Master’s degrees in Melbourne, before coming to Oxford in 1998 to do my DPhil under the supervision of Oliver Taplin. That thesis was examined by Malcolm Willcock and Bryan Hainsworth, and published by OUP in 2007. After my doctorate, I held teaching posts at Magdalen, St Anne’s and Balliol, and the Fulford Junior Research Fellowship at St Anne’s (2003–5), and was very briefly employed by the University of Warwick before returning to Balliol as a Tutorial Fellow in 2008. I have recently been editing the Cambridge Companion to Sappho (which is almost done) and trying to find time to work on my commentary on Iliad XXIII for the Greek and Latin Classics series published by Cambridge University Press. I am also participating in a project to translate the Homeric scholia in English (for Cambridge University Press), and co-editing a conference volume with Chris Metcalf entitled Divine Narratives in early Greece and the ancient Near East for Oxford University Press (2020).
