A. P. David

A. P. David is a classical Hellenist who did his doctorate in the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago. 'The Dance of the Muses: Choral Theory and Ancient Greek Poetics' was published by Oxford (2006); it includes a new theory of the Greek and Latin tonal accent, as well as a revolutionary approach to Homeric poetics, which connects the hexameter to an origin in dance rhythm. A website (danceofthemuses) and a substack (homerist) with supporting audio and video recordings are available. He has also published a monograph on the role of mathematics in the philosophy of the late Plato ('Plato's New Measure: the "Indeterminate Dyad"'). His original fiction so far includes '"I Am A Forgotten Man": Yuri's Odyssey', and 'The Tale of the Pig Man, or "Waking Up"'. A first collection of his poetry, 'Past Your Ear', has been published, and two new collections ('Over The Moon' and 'Bullroarer') have followed. David is a student of plasma cosmology and the Electric Universe (see Thunderbolts). He is married and lives in Kandy, Sri Lanka.
