He specializes in Classical Philology, and most of his publications concern Homeric Epic. Dr. Clark has an interest in the Ancient Novel; Rhetoric; and Literary Theory. He is also interested in literary traditions, both oral and written, and in the way artists use these traditions in the formation of their own works. All of these interests require close attention to the history of literature and the history of language. Dr. Clark's next project will be a study of the ancient travel writer Pausanias and his use of Greek myth.
