Research Interests

Alwine’s research interests range across ancient Greek history. His dissertation and first book focused on oratory and law, and since then he has moved more into the political realm: Greek oligarchy and democracy and their reception in the early modern period. He is also working on projects on Greek historians and intellectuals, especially Xenophon and Isocrates. Alwine is also pursuing a secondary research project on the history of classical education in early America.
