Module 35: The Participle Cont.: Τhe Supplementary Participle

Philip S. Peek is Distinguished Teaching Professor of Classics at Bowling Green State University, where he teaches Ancient Greek, Latin, and Classical Civilization. He is interested in the stories we tell ourselves, those we tell each other, and how we interpret those told to us. He believes in many truths and many fictions and is amazed by how the false and true interact with each other. He is fascinated by creativity, translation, and the process of creating a dialogue between different cultures and time periods. He has published a two-volume elementary textbook on how to read and interpret Ancient Greek (Open Book Publishers, 2021, https://www.openbookpublishers.com/books/10.11647/obp.0264, and 2024) and a textual commentary on book five of Herodotos’ Histories (U of O Press, 2018). He also has published in METAMORPHOSES three translations, the Alexis poem by Meleagros of Gadara (2019 Fall), Anakreon’s Thracian Filly poem (Spring 2020), and Meleagros’ poem, To A Bee (Spring 2020). He enjoys researching, teaching, translating, and writing about all things ancient Greek. When not at work, he may be found outside hiking, meditating, and enjoying the sounds of the multi-verse.
