David Andrew CollierDavid Collier is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Classics at the University of Colorado in Boulder. He has attended the University of Missouri (B.A., '06; M.A. '08), the Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa (Research Fellow '07-'08), and the American Academy in Rome (Summer '07). David studies Latin literature broadly-speaking, but is particularly interested in the literature of Late Antiquity. He wrote an MA thesis on the Evangeliorum Libri IV of Juvencus, a 4th century epic paraphrase of the Latin Gospels and the first so-called "biblical epic" of Late Antiquity (available here). Although busy preparing for exams, he is currently investigating dissertation topics ranging from the poetry of Prudentius to the epistle collection of Sidonius Apollinaris. Stay tuned. (Dave's CV will be available soon.) At Hephaistos Text, Dave contributes to the Open Source Classics blog.

Amit Shilo Amit Shilo is a 3rd year Classics PhD student at NYU. He did his undergraduate work there as well, in English Literature and History (specifically of the French Enlightenment and Revolution). He learned Latin and Greek mostly at the Post–baccalaureate program in Classics at Columbia University where he also took his first graduate classes in the field. He spent the 2007/08 academic year on fellowship at the American School of Classical Studies in Athens. His work so far has concerned itself with Classical and Biblical literature as it relates to linguistic, philosophical, and political issues. Amit’s dissertation proposal will likely center around classical drama and platonic philosophy’s continual reimagination of death and the afterlife. In addition he is interested in writing about the connections between Classics and Biblical Hebrew, French, German, and English literature. At Hephaistos Text, Amit is a managing editor of the Libanius Translation Project. Email
