Anthony Kaldellis Biography & Facts

Anthony Kaldellis (Greek: Αντώνιος Καλδέλλης; born 29 November 1971) is a Greek and American historian and self-described Byzantinist who is Professor and a faculty member of the Department of Classics at the University of Chicago. He is a specialist in Greek historiography, Plato and Byzantine Studies. He is also the author of numerous monographs on classical antiquity and the Byzantine Empire, which have been translated into many languages.
