Mario Telò obtained his B. A. and his Ph. D at the Scuola Normale Superiore, Pisa (Italy), where from 2004 to 2007 he was Junior Research Fellow in Greek Literature. His research interests mainly focus on Attic drama, and especially on Old Comedy, but he has published also in other fields of Greek and Latin literature (Hellenistic poetry, the Greek Novel, Roman tragedy and comedy, ecphrastic literature, modern reception of Greek tragedy). In 2007 he published an extensive commentary on Eupolis’ Demoi (Florence, “Le Monnier”, 2007), the best preserved fragmentary play of Old Comedy. He is currently engaged in a new book-length project on the relationship between genre and generation, intertextuality and autobiography in Aristophanes
