Bio
Professor Farrington earned his PhD at the University of Colorado, Boulder. His publications have focused primarily on the historian Polybius and the nature and development of historical and literary prose in antiquity. His most recent article (Classical Philology, 2021) reinterprets the ancient proverb “Nothing to do with Dionysus.” He offers classes in Greek, Latin, and the history of the ancient world and its reception.
