It has been a lively start to the term and it's been great to be back in school. This year our Classics Society team have chosen as their theme the topic of 'Women in the Ancient World'. Updates on talks and events relating to this theme forthcoming throughout the year!

Excited to share this new piece today by @GMcCor on the farewell speech of Creusa, Aeneas' Trojan wife, in the Aeneid. It touches on several themes in Virgil's epic poem, but also on broader questions of grief, love and parting company with loved ones. antigonejournal.com/2021/03/…

What a Classics week it's been! To cap things off today, Dr McCormick read an excerpt from Louis Macneice's poem Autumn Journal, Ms Jones spoke on ancient and modern satire, and Mr Pike explored connections between Aristotle's ethics and contemporary philosophy. Happy half term!

The issue isn't that I don't enjoy your tweets, or do;
If you don't follow me, my friend, why should I follow you?

tu nisi me sequeris, cur simul ipse sequar?
