Profile Articles

Daniel is a Junior Research Fellow in Classics at Trinity College, Cambridge. He is originally from New South Wales, Australia, and previously studied at the University of Sydney.

His main interests are in Greek literature and the global history of geography and cartography. His first book, The Edges of Empire: Greek Periplography and the Roman World, is under contract with Cambridge University Press.

He has also published widely on the geographical literature(s) of the Hellenistic Period and the Roman Empire. Daniel is currently developing new projects on the obsession with experience in ancient technical writing about cartography, and on the pre-modern history of so-called 'environmental determinism' (with a particular focus on the early Hippocratic treatise Airs, Waters, Places).
