Leverhulme ECR Fellow in Theology at Durham. PhD in Classics from KCL. Interested in early Christianity, theatre and performance in the Greco-Roman world.

I've not been too active on here over summer so it is worth me resharing some news I've posted elsewhere. I’m delighted to say that earlier in the summer I was appointed Lecturer in Ancient History at Queen’s University Belfast.

New Publication! 'Rethinking Clement's Euripides: Source and Spectacle' by Dr. Ed Creedy (@edcreedy.bsky.social), published in Classical Quarterly and offering a fresh perspective on Clement's multi-faceted engagement with his dramatic sources. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Spent a few days exploring this stunning ancient city last year. The Piazza dell'Anfiteatro is wonderful, with fragments of the Roman structure amidst the later buildings. Our visit coincided with the Festa di Sante Croce, with the winding streets lit by candles and the city filled with hymns.

The #Italian town of #Lucca with its Piazza dell' Anfiteatro. It's elliptical because it was built on the remains of a #Roman amphitheatre. 📷 www.facebook.com/story.php?st... 🏺 AncientBluesky

Aerial view of Piazza dell'Anfiteatro in Lucca, Italy, a circular plaza surrounded by historic buildings with terracotta roofs. The buildings follow the shape of an ancient Roman amphitheater, forming a near-perfect ring with arched entryways leading into the square. The plaza has outdoor café tables with umbrellas and people walking across the open space. Beyond the city, rolling hills, green fields, and a tall bell tower rise against a cloudy sky.

Looking forward to this next week, it promises to be an excellent couple of days. Do get in touch if you'd be interested in joining us, either in person in London or virtually.
