In 2007, aged only 26, Michael became Dr Michael and he is now the Moses Finley Research Fellow in ancient history at Darwin College, Cambridge where he is a popular lecturer for Classics, History and Art History. He divides his time between researching and teaching in Cambridge and Athens, giving lectures across Europe and working with schools across the UK to promote the study of the ancient world. Bringing the ancient world to our new world, Michael often lectures on cruise ships around the Mediterranean. He also brings his passion and knowledge to our screens as presenter of programmes including Ancient Discoveries (where he was investigating ancient spying, oracles of the dead, great sea battles, ancient luxuries and methods of death), Ancient Sex (where he was looking at Greek and Roman perceptions of Egyptian sexuality) and the series Ancient Tyrants (where he looked at Alexander the Great and Cleopatra) for the History Channel. Michael's first documentary for BBC4 is about Delphi and will be shown later this year.
As author of popular history books, Michael's first book 'From Democrats to Kings'
hit the shelves in 2009, followed by his second book
the ancient sanctuaries of Delphi and Olympia (Cambridge University Press).
Taking time out from research in the library, Michael
has also embarked on several extreme endurance charity
fund raising events: hiking, biking, rafting and
kayaking across Costa Rica, dragon boat racing around
the Venetian lagoon and re-creating the ancient world by
running the route of the first ever Marathon in Athens.
