A liberal arts education has given me opportunities to take classes in many different disciplines. One of these such opportunities was a chemistry class on the process of making art in the ancient world. Therefore, I was exposed to writing lab reports for the first time.
Rape and Livy’s View of Roman History
This short essay is a critical review of the article written by James Arieti with the title as written above. I discuss the merits of the article, while briefly explaining Arieti’s interpretations of the ancient author Livy and the themes therein.
Butes, my original myth
A fellow classmate and I were tasked with the creation of an original myth in the Spring of 2018. We created a myth surrounding a man called Butes, and the creation of dad jokes. This is a light-hearted myth, but one centered around the traditional heroic plot of the myths of ancient Rome and Greece.
For the Birds
This critical essay on the humor of the ancient comedic play “The Birds” by Aristophanes was written to explain how the play itself would have been comedic in performance. Comedy is best understood in the drama, rather than the written form, and I explain to the best of my ability how that would have been accomplished in the ancient world.
Roman Drama, Fall 2017
This was my first research paper, written over the course of the Fall 2017 semester. I focused on the theatre of the ancient Roman world, combining sources which discussed location along with technique.

Hello all! I am here to comment on my lack of presence over the last year or so.

Thank you for bearing with me, and I look forward to showing what I’ve been working on!
