JELLE STOOP

I was born and raised in Belgium. As an undergraduate, I read Classics at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium (2002–03) and at Corpus Christi College, University of Oxford, UK (BA Hons, 2003–07). I started graduate studies in Classics at Yale University, USA in 2007.

My interest are both Greek and Roman cultures, in particular the various kinds of epideictic literature and art operative in propaganda of the Hellenistic era. Further interests are Greek papyrology (documentary and literary), as well as the reception of pastoral poetry (Greek, Latin, English).
