Biography[]
Marios Philippides was born in 1950 and taught at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst from 1978 until his retirement in May 2017. He received his B.A. degree in Classics from Queens College in 1972 and his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from SUNY at Buffalo in 1976 and 1978 respectively.[1] He has published numerous articles on ancient religion, on archaeology, and on late Byzantine historiography. His main focus has been the fall of Constantinople (1453), the annexation of the Balkans, and the conquest of the Levant to the Ottoman Turks. Professor Philippides has published a number of books, including his monumental 2011 study, The Siege and the Fall of Constantinople in 1453: Historiography, Topography, and Military Studies.[2] Coauthored with Walter Hanak, this book's 11 chapters not only offer comprehensive analysis of the primary sources concerning this famous historical event but also subject the scholarly literature devoted to this topic over the last century and a half to searching scrutiny. Other key avenues of Philippides' scholarly inquiry have included ancient religion, archaeology, and late-. His numerous books and articles have ranged in topic from the ancient Greek novelist Longus to Mycenaean frescoes, and from the reception of ancient Troy in Renaissance Istanbul to detailed analysis of accounts of the city left by chroniclers of the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries.[1] He was interviewed and also was one of many historical consultants to Rise of Empires: Ottoman.
