Classical Studies

The liberal arts have their roots in the cultural legacy of ancient Greece and Rome. Western literature, philosophy, history, and drama emerged in these “classical” cultures. Our sensibilities about art and architecture continue to be influenced by forms developed in the ancient world. On the other hand, problems faced by those cultures remain with us; recent work on the role of women and slaves has had much to say not only about the ancients but about us as well. There is still much to be gained through the study of the Greeks and Romans.
