Blog dedicated to my 15-week research in investigating the philosophical concepts of dikê (justice) and atê (ruin, delusion) in the Archaic and Classical Greek works of Homer and Aeschylus. Timeframe of project: May to December 2013 (includes submission of abstract, gathering sources, drafts, etc.). Project funded by the University of Houston's Provost Undergraduate Research Program Fellowship.
About
I'm Melvin, an undergraduate student pursing a degree in political science and history.
Academic interests include: political thought, public law (emphasis on the U.S. Supreme Court and its role in shaping public policy), classical (Greek and Roman) history and literature.
I'm using this research experience to prepare me for my undergraduate honors thesis, and to learn more about the Greek conception of 'justice' and 'ruin', pre-Plato/Socrates.
