Thomas R P Coward is a Marie Curie Research Fellow at the University of Bristol, focusing on Greek literature, particularly Greek poetry, and intellectual history. His previous fellowships include positions at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice and Scuola Superiore Meridionale in Naples. Coward has published several articles and edited volumes, including 'Paths of Song: The Lyric Dimension of Greek Tragedy' (2018) and 'Didymus and Graeco-Roman Learning' (2020). His research is centered around the reconstruction of fragmentary literary works and making lesser-known Greek texts more accessible. With a PhD awarded in 2016, he has investigated the influence of traditions on the lyric poet Pindar's work, integrating methodologies from Historical Musicology. His ongoing projects include the critical edition of the Hesiodic Catalogue of Women, examining archaic Greek epic poems that deal with themes of gender, mythology, and geography.
