Discipline Representative: I.R. McDonald (416-287-7158)

Classical Studies introduces the student to the Greek and Roman World, its literature, history, religion and government. Greco-Roman civilization was the wellspring of western culture and the direct antecedent of much of what is central and familiar in contemporary Canadian society. Its achievements in many fields still set the standards by which modern endeavours are judged. In most courses the original ancient Greek and Latin texts come alive in English translation, and the computer-based Perseus project in Bladen Library presents sophisticated multi-media opportunities for exploring the ancient Greek and Roman world.
