Antoine Chabod holds a PhD from the Université Gustave Eiffel and is an agrégé in History. His research focuses on the political and religious history of archaic and classical Greek cities. He joined the Religion, History and Society in the Ancient Greek World Chair in September 2022 as a research engineer, and is notably involved in the Collection of Greek Ritual Norms (CGRN) project.
In his thesis, defended in 2020, he examines the different ways in which laws were transmitted in Greek cities between the 7th and the end of the5th centuries BC. In it, he questions the supposed rise of a legal rationality based on written law, and highlights the importance of speech and song inspired by divinities in the transmission of the norms that governed cities until the middle of the Classical Age. His current work involves publishing the results of this survey and continuing the research he has begun into the pragmatic study of Greek inscriptions, with a particular focus on their votive function.
