The next history book will be on the Roman conquest of Greece. To be
published by Oxford University Press in both the States and the UK, the working title is
Taken at the Flood: The Roman Conquest of Greece.
The next translation will be Demosthenes: Select Speeches, with
Christopher Carey (University College London) supplying the expertise. It will include eighteen of Demosthenes'
speeches, including On the Crown and Apollodorus's Against Neaera. It will be published in
Oxford World's Classics.
There are three academic articles in the
pipeline:
'Xenophon on Socrates' Trial and Death', a paper presented at a
conference at Liverpool University in July 2009, will be published as part of the conference proceedings by Brill
in 2012; edited by Christopher Tuplin, the volume (like the conference) will be called Xenophon: Ethical
Principle and Historical Inquiry.
A chapter on the Socratic Problem ('The Quest for the Historical
Socrates') for the forthcoming Continuum Companion to Socrates, edited by John Bussanich and Nicholas
Smith, has been accepted for publication and will also appear in 2012.
A paper entitled 'Greed and the Mixed Constitution in Xenophon's
Anabasis' has been accepted for publication by Ariadne, later in 2012. The journal is
published by the University of Crete, and the paper is the written version of a talk Robin gave at
Rethymno in November 2011.
Robin will contribute an appendix on 'Xenophon and Socrates' to the
Landmark Xenophon: Anabasis, translated by David Thomas, and edited by Shane Brennan and
Robert Strassler.
