About Andrea Debiasi

Andrea Debiasi (Ph.D. University of Rome “La Sapienza”) is the author of two monographs on early Greek epic: L’epica perduta. Eumelo, il Ciclo, l’occidente (2004) and Esiodo e l’occidente (2008), both published by L’Erma di Bretschneider (Rome), focusing on some lost epic poems (Eumelus, the Epic Cycle) and Hesiod, respectively. He is associate editor of Hespería. Studi sulla grecità di occidente. His areas of research include Greek history (contacts and colonization of the western Mediterranean Sea, regional history of Euboea, Boeotia, Corinth) and literature, where historical and philological analysis are combined, with a particular emphasis on the Greek poetic production: archaic (epic, lyric), Hellenistic (Callimachus, Euphorion, Lycophron), and late antique poetry (Nonnus of Panopolis). At the CHS he will work on a commented edition of Eumelus of Corinth by gathering and organizing the material, as well as preparing the ‘Prolegomena’ and ‘Paralegomena’.
