Short biography

Debra Hamel earned her Ph.D. from the Yale Classics Department in 1996. Her most recent book, Reading Herodotus: A Guided Tour through the Wild Boars, Dancing Suitors, and Crazy Tyrants of The History, will be published by The Johns Hopkins University Press in the fall of 2012. When she’s not writing about wild boars, wild women, and ithyphallic statues, Debra can be found in her subterranean lair tending her fleet of web sites, which include the literary sites TwitrLit.com, KidderLit.com, and ScatterLit.com. She is also the creator of TheTwitterHerodotus.com, where she is posting an abbreviated version of Herodotus’ History for the modern age.

Debra lives with her husband and two preternaturally attractive daughters in North Haven, Connecticut. You can find her online at dhamel.com and on Twitter at @debra_hamel.
