Research Topic: Iambic Women: Horace, Catullus, and the Greek Iambic Tradition

Hannah Kloster is a PhD Candidate in Classical Studies at Boston University. She received her BA in Classics from Colgate University in 2021. Her dissertation, “Iambic Women: Horace, Catullus, and the Greek Iambic Tradition,” focuses on the role and depiction of women in Greek and Latin iambic poetry, particularly the possible origins of the genre in female cult practice. As a secondary project, she also investigates the role of the goddess Nemesis in Greek and Latin poetry. Hannah has participated in excavations in Paestum, Italy, and the ASCSA excavations in Corinth.
