Leon Golden (Ph.D., Chicago) specializes in ancient literary criticism and in Greek poetry, especially tragedy and epic. He has won a university teaching award. He is the author of In Praise of Prometheus and of Aristotle on Tragic and Comic Mimesis. He has published, with O.B. Hardison, influential translations of Aristotle's Poetics and of Horace´s Ars Poetica. An article by Professor Leon Golden will appear in the fall entitled "Ars and Artifex in the Ars Poetica" in which he will offer a new interpretation of how that influential work is to be read. He is currently working on a study showing the way in which the Iliad serves as the source of the complex structure of Greek tragedy.
