Classical Civilisation

Course summary

Classical Civilisation gives students the opportunity to see where many of our modern institutions and culture originates from and how we have changed (or not!) over the years. It is the study of the culture, history and literature that has shaped our civilisation, and students will read some of the most important works in Western literature. Students will also study history and some of the great names of the Classical world; Homer, Sophocles, Julius Caesar, Mark Antony and Cleopatra, to name but a few
