- Professor of Classics, Humanities and Italian Studies, University of New Hampshire
R. Scott Smith is Professor of Classics in the Department of Classics, Humanities and Italian Studies at the University of New Hampshire, where he has taught since 2000. His major field of research is ancient myth and mythography, with special focus on the intersection of mytho, space, and geography. He is currently co-director of a digital database of Greek myth, MANTO: https://manto.unh.edu. In addition, he is interested in how mythography operates in scholia and commentaries and is undertaking a student-supported project to translate mythographical narratives in the Homeric scholia, Servius, and other scholiastic texts. He also produces the podcast, The Greek Myth Files: https://manto-myth.org/gmf. When not working on myth, he continues to translate and comment on ancient texts involving Stoic philosophy and has a book on Epictetus's Handbook forthcoming.
