He is the Edward Olson Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of Classics and the College at the University of Chicago.[1] His work largely covers the study of Ancient Greek poetry, religion and magic,[2] from sources such as text, myths, rituals,[3][4] and hymns,[5] and from objects such as pottery,[6] papyrus,[7][8] inscriptions on gems,[9] curse tablets,[10][11][12] and figurines or effigies.[13][14][15] Faraone is considered to be a foremost scholar on ancient Mediterranean magic.[16]
