Reviews

Author Information

Maureen Alden read Classics at the University of Liverpool, where she studied Homer and Homeric archaeology with John Pinsent, himself a pupil of H. L. Lorimer. The work of the late Ioannis Kakridis, whom she met a number of times at the Symposia on the Odyssey in Ithaca, influenced her strongly. Her teaching interests include Homer, tragedy, and ancient art, and she has published widely on Homer, Bronze Age archaeology, and also on costume, ancient and modern; the latter works include pieces on Homeric comforts for the troops in World War II and Homeric influences on the corsetry trade.
