You’ll examine how the fundamental ideas, beliefs, and institutions were formed when Greek and Middle Eastern cultures met thousands of years ago. Modern languages are full of words deriving from Greek and Latin, and classical myths have inspired everything from Shakespearean drama to Disney films. Classics starts you on a journey of discovery that lasts a lifetime!
