Vasileios Dimoglidis

Vasileios Dimoglidis is a Ph.D. Candidate in Classical Philology. He received his B.A. (2016) and M.A. (2019) in Classics from the University of Ioannina in Greece. He is specializing in Hellenistic Poetry and Greek & Roman Theater. In his M.A. thesis (dir. Helen Gasti) Vasileios examined various aspects of metapoetry in Euripides’ Ion. In his Ph.D. dissertation (dir. Susan Prince) he focuses on the construction of emotions in Theocritus' Idylls and the manipulation of his reader's responses. Besides his dissertation, Vasileios is also working on a monograph project that examines the symbolic values of the term caput in Seneca’s tragedies.
