Jeremy B. Lefkowitz completed his Ph.D. in Classical Studies in 2009.  Upon graduation from Penn, Jeremy took up a position as Assistant Professor of Classics at Swarthmore College, where he now teaches a wide range of courses on Classical subjects, including mythology, ancient comedy, and Greek and Latin language at the beginning, intermediate, and honors-seminar levels.  

Research and Teaching Interests: 

His research focuses on comic and satirical genres such as Greek Comedy, Roman Comedy, Iambography, Roman Satire, and Aesopic Fable. His first book project - a revision of his 2009 dissertation - reconsiders the literary history and cultural status of "Aesopica" (fables, proverbs, and other anecdotes ascribed to Aesop) by focusing on adaptations of fables in diverse genres of Greek and Latin poetry.
