The A Level course provides students with a broad and rewarding study into the culture and legacy of the classical world. No previous knowledge of the Greeks and Romans is required and the material is studied entirely in translation, so it is ideal for those who want a fresh start on something different and stimulating. Typically, topics for study will be chosen from selected books of Homer’s Iliad or Odyssey and Virgil’s Aeneid (Greek and Roman epics based around events during and after the Trojan War); Greek theatre (conventions, visual material and three tragedy/comedy plays); and Greek religion or democracy and the Athenians. Perhaps the most enjoyable aspect of the course is the opportunity to make a personal response to images of the classical word and some of the greatest literature that has ever been produced.
Each of the six subjects is marked out of 7 (maximum of 42 points).
There are three written examinations, which contain a mixture of extended response and commentary questions: The World of the Hero: 2 hours 20 mins (40% of total marks) Culture and the Arts: 1 hour 45 mins (30%) Beliefs and Ideas: 1 hour 45 mins (30%)
