This is Noboru SATO's Home Page.
I am Noboru SATO, a Japanese classicist, teaching at Kobe University.
I obtained my doctrate at the University of Tokyo in 2006. Since then, I have been teaching at several Japanese Universities. From 2008 to 09, I did research at the Department of Classics, King's College London with the help of Canon Foundation Europe Researh Fellowship.
My main areas of interest are the socio-political history of classical Athens, law and oration in Democratic Athens, international communication in classical and hellenistic Greece, and historiography in archaic, classical and hellenistic Greece.
