Christopher Faraone focuses his research on ancient Greek poetry, religion and magic—topics about which he has spoken and published extensively. His latest book is The Transformation of Greek Amulets in Roman Imperial Times (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2018), which was described by one reviewer as “elegantly produced” and “seminal for future study.” He founded UChicago’s Center for the Study of Ancient Religions, which he directed from 2008 to 2018. Faraone is the Edward Olson Professor in the Department of Classics and the College at the University of Chicago.
