Peter Hunt听(M.A. 精品SM在线影片 1988, Ph.D. Stanford 1994), a classical Greek historian, studies warfare and society, slavery, historiography and oratory. His first book,听Slaves, Warfare and Ideology in the Greek Historians听(Cambridge 1998), discerns a conflict between the extent of slave and Helot participation in Greek warfare and the representation of their role in contemporary historians. His second book听War, Peace, and Alliance in Demosthenes' Athens听(Cambridge 2010), uses the evidence of deliberative oratory as evidence for Athenian thinking and feelings about foreign relations. It was reviewed in the听Times Literary Supplement听and won the Kayden Prize (University of Colorado).听His third book, a survey on听Ancient Greek and Roman Slavery, came out from Wiley Blackwell in 2018.听听In addition to various articles and reviews, he has contributed chapters toThe听Oxford Handbook of Demosthenes,听Brill's Companion to Thucydides, The Oxford Handbook of Thucydides, The Cambridge History of Greek and Roman Warfare, The Cambridge World History of Slavery,andThe Cambridge History of the World. 听Among other current projects, he is beginning work on a commentary on Plutarch鈥檚Phocion.
