I am interested in the literatures of ancient Greece, Rome and Babylon, and in the interactions between them. My research initially focused on Homer (Homer’s People, CUP 2000; Homer: The Resonance of Epic, Duckworth 2005; Homer: Iliad VI, CUP 2010, the latter two jointly with Barbara Graziosi) and I continue to work on early Greek epic, especially in relation to other branches of classical culture such as ancient philosophy (Plato and Hesiod, ed. with George Boys-Stones, OUP 2010, Chinese translation ecnupress 2016).
Haubold will co-teach HUM 247, Near Eastern Humanities I: From Antiquity to Islam in the Fall of 2024 with Eve Krakowski and previously taught it in the Fall of 2022, Fall of 2021 and Fall of 2019. He also previously taught HUM 245 / CLA 246 / HLS 245, Creation Stories: Babylonian, Biblical and Greek Cosmogonies Compared in the Spring of 2019 and the Spring of 2024.
