My research focuses on ancient literary theory and on the early reception of Greek poets. I am interested in the emergence of fundamental poetic concepts (fiction, persona, etc.) and the various exegetic approaches that were applied to the text by ancient readers, such as allegoresis and etymological explanations.

My main research interests lie in the fields of ancient ethics and psychology, and extend into Hellenistic and Roman philosophy. They are divided into 2 main areas:

• The future of what commentators call moral intellectualism in ancient morals and the so-called akrasia question. My work deals with the dysfunctions of practical rationality and the introduction and development of a vocabulary (prohairèsis, boulèsis/voluntas, hexis/habitus, propatheia, etc.) for thinking about the different modalities of non-virtuous human action.
• Re-evaluation of the concept of naturalism in the field of ancient ethics.
