Andronike Makres was born in Athens and graduated from the Department of Philology of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (1988). She completed her doctoral thesis at the Department of Ancient History of the University of Oxford, Oxford, UK (Christ Church 1989-1994). Her thesis title is "The Institution of Choregia in Athens in the fifth and fourth centuries B.C."

Her research interests are mainly concerned with the history, epigraphy and topography of Attica and the Peloponnese from the Archaic Period to the Roman Times.

In 1995 she began her long-term collaboration with the Centre for the Study of Ancient Messene as a member of a team of epigraphists for the excavations of Ancient Messene of the Archaeological Society of Athens under the direction of Prof. P. Themelis.

Between 2002 and 2014, Andronike Makres collaborated with the Berlin-Bradenburgische Academie der Wissenschraften (Berlin, Germany) in order to write the entries for the choregic inscriptions of Attica of the 4th century BC for the third edition of the Inscriptiones Graecae of the Post-Eukledeian inscriptions of Attica (IG II³). Her collaboration with the editor of the volume of dedicatory inscriptions, Dr. Jaime Curbera, led to the publication of the volume IG II³ IV 1 in 2014.

Since 2017-she is a member of the three-member editorial team of the new Corpus of Laconian inscriptions (IG V 1²) which is to be published in the Inscriptiones Graecae series of the Berlin Academy of Sciences.

From 2005 to 2007 Andronike Makres collaborated with the Ephorate of Antiquities of Messenia for the creation of a catalogue of the inscriptions kept in the Archaeological Museum of Messenia.

From 1989 until today she is a member of the Greek Epigraphic Society and participates in its research projects as well as in the editorial team of the scholarly electronic journal GRAMMATEION www.grammateion.gr.

In 1995 she received a fellowship from the Center for Hellenic Studies, Washington DC, USA. (summer scholar) in order to further research the choregic inscriptions of Attica.

In 1997 she received a fellowship from the SHELBY WHITE-LEON LEVY Program for Archaeological Publications (The Semitic Museum, Harvard University) for the study of the inscriptions of the Gymnasium and the Stadium of ancient Messina. This research formed the basis for the collaboration of A. Makres with the Centre for Greek and Roman Antiquities of the National Hellenic Research Foundation for the publication of the second volume of the Roman names of the Peloponnese, “Roman Peloponnese II, Roman Personal Names in their social context”, Melestias 36 (Athens, 2004).

In 2020 she received the MGSA Grant for Innovative Initiatives for the Greek Inscriptions Online (GIO) database project which consists in translations and commentaries in Modern Greek of Ancient Greek inscriptions https://www.mgsa.org/Initiatives/innovation.html

The GIO project followed the example (and received the support) of the Attic Inscriptions Online Project founded by Prof. Stepehen Lambert (Cardiff University).

Andronike Makres has taught ancient history and epigraphy for many years at Greek and foreign educational/research institutions and universities. She has presented scholarly papers at over thirty international conferences focusing on Ancient Greek and Roman History, Archaeology and Epigraphy.
