About Reyes Bertolin

I am a professor of Classics at the University of Calgary. Currently, I'm in a transition in my life. I'm looking for new avenues to share the knowledge that I have accumulated over the years. I am a classical philologist. I started working on Homer and have evolved to teach other areas of Greek literature, comparative mythology and ancient Greek sport. I love all these areas and keep researching in them.

Reyes Bertolin is a professor of Classics at the University of Calgary.
