Froma I. Zeitlin is an American Classics scholar. She specializes in ancient Greek literature, with particular interests in epic, drama and prose fiction, along with work in gender criticism, and the relationship between art and text in the context of the visual culture of antiquity.[2] Zeitlin's work on establishing new approaches to Greek tragedy has been considered particularly influential.[3]
