Greta Hawes

Greta Hawes is Lecturer in Classics and Ancient History at the Australian National University. Her first book, Rationalizing myth in antiquity (OUP 2014), explored the Greeks’ attempts to make their myths resemble historical narratives. Her current interest in the spatial dynamics of myth is apparent in a forthcoming edited collection (Myths on the map: the storied landscapes of ancient Greece, OUP) and in her ongoing work on a monograph examining the interrelationships between land and storytelling in Pausanias’ Periegesis.
