Alexandra Seiler

Alexandra Seiler (she/they) graduated from the University of Vermont, first with a B.A. in Greek and Latin in 2021, and then with an M.A. in Greek and Latin in 2023. She is interested in ancient poetry broadly, and especially in the relationships between text and performance in Greek tragedy; her other research interests include Roman elegy, ancient magical practice as represented in literature, fragmentary ancient drama, the relationship between marriage and death in ancient literature, and the intersections of academic and creative work. Her recent work has focused on deictic pronouns and the divine in Euripides’ Bacchae, and on Sophocles’ fragmentary tragedy Tereus. She has performed onstage in a number of ancient dramas, most recently as Myrrhine in Lysistrata (SCS CAMP, 2024) and Clytemnestra in Tantalids, a “mash-up” of Aeschylus’ Agamemnon and Seneca’s Thyestes (UVM Classics, 2024). In her free time, she enjoys reading fiction, exploring museums, and swimming in any available body of water.
