Mission
Classics is the critical
study of languages, cultures, and literature of the ancient
world. The societies of ancient Greece
and Rome, the Mediterranean
world, the Middle East, and cultures with faces toward the
Orient are the terrain of Classics. Many of our traditions rest
upon the world of the
Greeks and Romans. Greek, Latin, and Hebrew literature are
studied in the Classics Department. (More)
