Adam Greves (born circa 1971-75) is a recluse, writer, actor, esteemed psychogeographer, and visionary .

Greves is probably best known for his classic roles in the revivals of Aristophanes' Knights<ref>http://www.ucl.ac.uk/GrandLat/play.html</ref> and Euripides' Medea<ref>http://tonykeen.blogspot.com/2006/02/ucl-classics-play.html</ref>; and more recently for his work in the field of Psychogeography. Relatively inactive during the 1980s and 1990s, Greves first break came when he was hired by respected raconteur Graham Kirby to star in his original production of Aristophanes' Knights<ref>http://www.ucl.ac.uk/GrandLat/play.html</ref> (Bloomsbury Theatre - 2005). It was during this time that Adam, wandering the streets of West-Central London, began to develop his independent theories of Psychogeography. Often quoted as one of the leaders of the Nu-Psychogeography movement<ref>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychogeography</ref>, Greves' unique style has brought him great fame, and inevitably the lifestyle it affords. Some of his most influential essays on Psychogeography are:

Unintelligent Urbanism - A new perspective.

The Joys of reinforced concrete.

The untimely death of pedestrianism.

<small>Readers of this article must note that much of Adam Greves' personal history is a matter of academic speculation, this article is based upon one branch of research.</small>

Early Life

Much of Adam Greves' early years remains shrouded in mystery, despite three volumes of research conducted at Jesus College London, by Professor Vernon Cathcart during the early part of this century. What can be certain is that, he was born, that he grew up and that further development was substantially lacking beyond puberty. However, Professor Cathcart ascertained that Greves was born some time between 1971 and 1975, and it seems now likely that his mother, of whom little is also known, was the manager of a local teashop, The Fanny's Nest, in Kettering, where she was seduced by Algernon Greves, a travelling theatre impressario, who knew some sucess in the early 1940s with his song "What ho, Clementine!"

Academic Career

After being sent down for indecent behaviour from Scome College, Greves began his academic career reading Ancient World Studies as an undergraduate at the University of London. He became something of the enfant terrible of the Classics world since his PhD thesis which argued, very much against the grain of contempary scholarship, for the authenticity of Plato's First Alcibiades using cutting edge Stylometrical (see Stylometry) research.<ref>Denyer (2001): 14-26.</ref>
Since his defection to the Geography department, student newspapers have declared him something of a turncoat.
Senior sources have stated (although it remains unconfirmed as yet by the university) that Dr. Greves is to be given the chair of Contemporary Geography at Jesus College, London .
