Dr Weiss came from Atlanta, Georgia to study Classics at Columbia University (BA and MA) and Yale University (PhD), focusing on the languages and literatures of both Ancient Greek and Latin. He then went to Oxford to teach the subject for five years before becoming (in 2003) a Language Teaching Officer for the Faculty of Classics at Cambridge and Fellow and Director of Studies in Classics for Clare College, Cambridge. Dr Weiss specialises in language pedagogy in both languages and teaches Classical languages and literature for Clare College. In 2012 he published a popular student’s introduction to Homer’s Odyssey for Cambridge University Press and has recently undertaken a series of Greek and Latin vocabulary textbooks in English and (as co-author) Chinese.
