John Franklin’s research deals mainly with early Greek cultural history at the Near Eastern interface(s), especially the interaction of poetic/?musical traditions. At the Institute, he plans to complete a book examining Kinyras, the mythical priest-king of pre-Greek Cyprus, against Near Eastern evidence for the divinization of temple lyres (e.g., Kinnaru of Ugarit).
