Her areas of academic research include the Hellenistic period, with specific emphasis on the work of Callimachus, Theocritus, Apollonius of Rhodes and the epigrammatists, as well as the intersection of Hellenistic poetry with history and philosophy. [1]

An early adopter of using digital technology to explore the classics, Clayman is the recipient of 10 individual grants from the National Endowment for the Humanities [7] and various private foundations to support the development of an online database of classical bibliography. [8] [9] This effort, which attempts to catalog scholarly work about ancient Greek and Latin language, linguistics and history as well as Roman history, literature, and philosophy from the second millennium B.C. to roughly 500-800 A.D., [10] has significantly expanded global access to a wide variety of research materials. [2] The project was initially published in 1995 as a set of CD-ROMs [11] and is now incorporated with the Année philologique . [12]

In addition to her academic work, Clayman was the founding editor-in-chief of Oxford Bibliographies: Classics. [13] She previously served as president of the Société internationale de bibliographie classique, [14] and is past-president of the American Philological Association, now known as the Society for Classical Studies.

In ancient Greek religion and mythology, Zagreus was a god sometimes identified with an Orphic Dionysus, a son of Zeus and Persephone, who was dismembered by the Titans and reborn. In the earliest mention of Zagreus, he is paired with Gaia and called the "highest" god, though perhaps only in reference to the gods of the underworld. Aeschylus, however, links Zagreus with Hades, possibly as Hades' son, or as Hades himself. Noting "Hades' identity as Zeus' katachthonios alter ego", Timothy Gantz postulated that Zagreus, originally the son of Hades and Persephone, later merged with the Orphic Dionysus, the son of Zeus and Persephone.

<i>Aetia</i> (Callimachus) Ancient Greek poem by Callimachus

The Aetia is an ancient Greek poem by the Alexandrian poet Callimachus. As an aetiological poem, it presents a large collection of origin myths in four books of elegiac couplets. Although the poem cannot be precisely dated, scholars estimate it was probably composed between 270 and 240 BC.

The Temple to Arsinoe Aphrodite at Cape Zephyrion was a sanctuary commissioned around 279 BCE by Kallikrates, the commander of the Ptolemaic Naval Fleet. A Graeco-Macedonian Ptolemaic Queen of Egypt, Arsinoe II was directly involved in public affairs, war planning, and public and private ritual rites. As Arsinoe II was involved in cult worship during her lifetime both alone and alongside her husband and brother Ptolemy II, after her death, Arsinoe was deified– primarily associated as an aspect or incarnation of Aphrodite but sometimes influenced by Demeter and Isis. The sanctuary was built on Cape Zephyrion in wider Alexandria, serving as a temple for unmarried women, sailors and other sea laborers to beseech the deity for smooth traveling on the sea and in love. Thought to be located between the Canopic mouth of the Nile Delta and Pharos beach, the sanctuary served to reiterate Ptolemaic dynastic rule through the presentation of the deified Ptolemaic queen as a protector of the Ptolemaic military and generational order through her influence of successful wedlock.
