Classics

Program Description

Classics is more varied and interdisciplinary than most other subjects; it is the study of the civilisations of ancient Greece and Rome, their literature and languages, their history and thought, their art and their culture. The elements of the course range from interpretation of literary texts, including epic, drama, satire, historical writing and much else, to linguistics, literary theory, archaeology and historical reconstruction of ancient cities, values and ways of life. The course also involves study of philosophy, which need not be restricted to ancient philosophy.
