Nicolas Bertrand

Nicolas Bertrand studied classics in Strasbourg and in Paris, at the Sorbonne University and the École Normale Supérieure (2001–2005). He specializes in the analysis of Homeric texts, with a special interest in the workings of Homeric traditional poetics. As linguistics became more and more crucial in his research, he wrote his PhD dissertation on word order in the Homeric poems (2005–2010). While pursuing his inquiries on Homeric poetics and, more widely, Ancient Greek syntax and pragmatics, he is currently Assistant Professor (Maître de Conférences) at the University of Nice Sophia Antipolis (Nice Côte d’Azur).
