Research Topic: Heroic Bodies: Hero/Heroine Cult in the Second Sophistic

Gillian is a PhD candidate at Ohio State University. Her dissertation examines ancient Greek hero cult in the second and third centuries CE, with a particular interest in the body. She has previously worked in Ohio State's Museum of Classical Archaeology, designing an exhibit which displayed Cypriot pottery from the Cesnola collection. While at the School, Gillian is particularly interested in the study of Greek epigraphy and the materiality of religion.
