Robert J. Lenardon (edit name/settings)

Robert J. Lenardon is professor emeritus of classics at The Ohio State University, where he was on the faculty for twenty-five years and served as director of graduate studies in Classics. He has taught at several other universities, among them the University of Cincinnati, Columbia University, and the University of British Columbia. He was a Visiting Fellow at Corpus Christi College, Cambridge University, and has written articles on Greek history and classics and a biography, The Saga of Themistocles. He has served as a book review editor of The Classical Journal and presented radio programs about mythology in music, a subject dear to his heart. The afterlife of classical subjects and themes in literature, film, and dance have also become favorite areas of teaching and research. For the fall semester of 2001, he was appointed Visiting Distinguished Scholar in Residence at the University of Louisville, Kentucky. He is at work on a book about the Persian Wars, and his translations from the Greek Anthology have been set to music by Gerald Busby in Songs from Ancient Greece, for tenor and piano (premiere, Carnegie Hall, 2005).
