- Short biography
- Landels' outputs can largely be divided into two distinct, yet interrelated groups. More generally speaking, Landels had a keen interest in ancient (mostly Greek) technology, and in fact his important book on ancient technology has even been translated into German. In addition to that, Landels conducted an impressive amount of research into the technicalities of ancient Greek music, in particular the aulos, a popular instrument of ancient Greek and Roman music.
