Gene Naro’s education and career have moved between the worlds of classic Greek and Roman literature and finance. He developed an interest in the plays of Sophocles, the most successful writer of ancient Greece and most studied in modern drama.

His academic training includes a BA from Dartmouth College and an MA from Cambridge University where he was Reynolds Scholar. After working in banking and corporate finance he decided to pursue his lifelong curiosity regarding the historical mystery of Sophocles’ “lost plays.” Sophocles was reported to have written over one hundred full-length plays in a career that spanned fifty years and yet only five have survived intact to the modern era. Unspoken was inspired by Oedipus and asks the question, “What could be worse than killing your father and sleeping with your mother?”

Gene currently divides his time between New York city and Provincetown Massachusetts.
