About the Author
Born and raised in Boulder, Colorado, Adrian soon discovered his love for languages which led him to live in various countries throughout Europe. He speaks Spanish, Italian, and Czech (among others).
When he started to learn Ancient Greek ten years ago, he was surprised to see the low level of language proficiency (even in university settings) as well as the lack of basic tools available for learning modern languages. Since there was no good thematic lexicon of Ancient Greek available, Adrian decided to put one together himself. After six years of work, he is proud to offer you the Pharos.
Adrian currently lives in Brno (Czech Republic) where he teaches English and Spanish at the Janáček Academy of Performing Arts. He has two cats, a little garden and spends much of his free time reading and speaking Ancient Greek.
