Timeline
Oliver Taplin, FBA (born 2 August 1943) is a retired British academic and classicist.
He was a fellow of Magdalen College and Professor of Classical Languages and Literature at the University of Oxford.
He holds a DPhil from Oxford University.
Taplin's primary focus as a scholar is Greek drama, especially from the viewpoint of staging and performance.
His first book (based on his dissertation) was The Stagecraft of Aeschylus, in which he dealt with the entrances and exits of characters in Aeschylus's plays.
He has also worked with productions in the theatre, including The Oresteia at the National Theatre (1980–81), The Thebans at the RSC (1991–92), and The Oresteia at the National Theatre (1999–2000).
Apart from Greek drama, his chief area of interest is Homer.
Taplin was doctoral supervisor for Classicist Isabel Ruffell.
Among the general public, Taplin is probably best known for Greek Fire, a celebration of the capacity of Ancient Greek culture to stand the test of time and influence modern art, thought and society.
The book accompanied a Channel 4 documentary series of the same name.
The book has been translated into five languages.
Subsequent books, including Comic Angels (1993) and Pots and Plays (2007) examine vase paintings as evidence for the performance of tragedy and comedy.
Taplin was elected Fellow of the British Academy (FBA) in 1995.
APGRD (Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama)
In 1996, together with Edith Hall, he set up the APGRD (Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama).
It is devoted to the international production and reception of ancient plays since the Renaissance.
In 2008, Taplin took part in the programme "Greek and Latin Voices" for the BBC where he gave a talk on Homer and translated the Homeric texts for the programme.
Taplin retired as Tutor in Classics at Magdalen College, Oxford in 2008.
The same year, Oxford University Press published Performance, Iconography, Reception: Studies in Honour of Oliver Taplin, edited by Martin Revermann and Peter Wilson.
