Lektor, ph.d. Marcel Lysgaard Lech
Mit navn er Marcel Lysgaard Lech. Jeg er PhD i klassisk græsk ved Københavns Universitet og har været lektor i Klassisk græsk og Oldtidskundskab siden 2012 på SDU. Mit forskningsfelt er græsk drama og teatrets historie.  Jeg vejleder gerne i de fleste emner inden for klassisk græsk litteratur, men er stærkest inden for tragedie, komedie, filosofi (Platon, Kynisme, epikuræisme), retorik og lyrik. Jeg oversætter flittigt fra græsk til dansk, og har deltaget i Gyldendals Samlede Platon med dialogerne Ion og Lovene (første bog). Desuden har jeg medoversat Aischylos’ Syv mod Theben og Sofokles’ Filoktet (under forberedelse). I øjeblikket arbejder jeg på en nyoversættelse af Euripides’ Medea. På BA-niveau underviser jeg normalt i fagene Epos, Athens litteratur og Kultur samt videnskabsteori 1 & 2.


     

Studieadjunkt, ph.d. Lærke Andersen
 Cand.mag. i klassisk filologi fra SDU 2009, ph.d. fra SDU i 2014. Jeg har undervist på SDU siden 2009; primært i de propædeutiske sprogfag, latin og oldgræsk. I 2022 blev jeg fastansat som studieadjunkt, hvilket betyder, at jeg ikke er ansat som forsker, men som fuldtidsunderviser. Jeg skrev ph.d. om visdomsudtryk i en byzantinsk kommentar til Iliaden og Odysseen og har også siden plejet interessen for visdomsudtryk. Blandt andet jeg i gang med at oversætte en ordsprogssamling fra oldgræsk til dansk, hvilket jeg forhåbentlig en skønne dag bliver færdig med. Jeg har derudover en forkærlighed for græsk poesi og for forfatteren Lukians satiriske prosa.

 Associate professor, PhD Réka Forrai
I have a degree in classical philology from Babes-Bolyai University (Cluj, Romania) and I have a PhD in Medieval Studies from Central European University (Budapest, Hungary). My teaching and supervising expertise lies in Hellenistic literature, Latin literature (both ancient and medieval) and Reception Studies. I am interested in the social, political, religious embeddedness of literary activity, and in particular that of translation as a way of creating new texts and ultimately, new canons. My main research expertise lies in the field of Greek to Latin translations in the Middle Ages.

Professor, ph.d. Lars Boje Mortensen
Born 1958, currently Professor of Ancient an Medieval Cultural History, Dept. of History, University of Southern Denmark (Odense); head of the Centre for Medieval Literature (Odense and York, sdu.dk/cml).
After my training in classical and medieval Latin philology (Copenhagen) I published both within editorial philology and literary aspects of medieval and renaissance Latin texts. My PhD dealt with early medieval historiography in Italy; chronicles from Antiquity to the Renaissance, in their highly different historical contexts, have been a major field of research since then. I had the opportunity to pursue manuscript studies in major European libraries which brought a book-historical dimension to my work; this has in turn shaped my view of pre-print texts.
After my appointment as professor of medieval Latin at the University of Bergen (1992), I gradually moved into the field of saints’ lives and saints’ cults, thus opening my studies more towards sociology of religion and sociology of learning. I also became interested in the rich Old Norse literature and the dynamics holding between the Latin and vernacular in Europe in general. At Bergen, I formed part of a Norwegian Centre of Excellence in 2003 and a similar Nordic Centre in 2005 in which I began to explore, with various international research groups and on my own, new ways of writing literary history. In 2007 I moved to my current post in Odense (SDU) for teaching medieval history and ancient literature in translation and in Latin. I continued to be occupied with the interdisciplinary field of large scale literary history and its problematic relations to the fields of history and comparative literature; together with Elizabeth Tyler (York) I established the international group Interfaces. Through this collaboration and with my SDU byzantinist colleague Christian Høgel, the Centre for Medieval Literature (CML, Odense/York) emerged in 2012 thanks to a long-term grant from the Danish National Research Foundation. The ambition of CML is to contribute to a theoretical framework for integrating the study of the European Medieval Literatures. Part of my own work within CML is a study about meritocratic values in literature from Antiquity to the High Middle Ages.
