David Mirhady's research spans related fields: Greek rhetoric, law, and the school of Aristotle. He began his dissertation on the political and legal writings of Aristotle's student Theophrastus. To obtain background information, he examined Aristotle's approach to legal argumentation in Rhetoric, which led to several articles on parallel accounts of argumentation and documentary forms of evidence in Rhetoric. He has focused on contemporary rhetoric and the rhetoric utilized by Alexander, studying Athenian orators and speeches by Isocrates, for which he has provided translations. His ongoing interests include examining parallels in rhetoric and the impact of rhetoric during the time of Alexander. Mirhady is currently supervising Masters students who are interested in subjects relating to Greek mythology, Greek tragedy, ancient rhetoric, and Greek law.
