Jon-David Hague earned a PhD in Classical Studies at Boston University. His BA is from Luther College where he double majored in Latin and Greek. He also studied Latin and Greek at Captain Shreve High School, a public high school in Shreveport, Louisiana where he was born.

He wrote his dissertation, Presenting the Divine: Stagecraft and Politics in Aristophanes’ “Birds”, under Jeffrey Henderson. His mentor was Donald Carne-Ross under whom he read from the Greek Anthology, particularly Anyte. He worked under Wolfgang Haase on the Aufstieg und Niedergang der römischen Welt and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition. Anything good here is thanks to them; all other flaws are entirely the author’s.
