όλη τη γραμματεία από τον Όμηρο έως το Βυζάντιο, αλλά πικράθηκε από την
αδιαφορία της Πολιτείας. Professor Marianne McDonald was trained in classics
and music, taught for many years at the University of California, Irvine, and
is now Professor of Classics and Theatre at the University of California, San
Diego. She is best known for her work on ancient Greek drama and mythology. Dr.
McDonald founded two projects that have revolutionized studies in classics and
Irish literature, about which she lectures nationally and internationally. The
first is the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae, a computer project that
makes available most of Greek literature up to the Byzantine period; the second
is a similar project begun for the history of the Irish language and its
literature (Thesaurus Linguarum Hiberniae). She also helped shape the Japanese Studies program at UCSD. In
addition, she is the founder of the renowned McDonald Center at Sharp Hospital,
whose success rate is among the highest in the nation in the treatment of drug
and alcohol abuse. Dr. Marianne McDonald in black, circa 2008.
