The Department of Classics studies and promotes the languages, literature, and cultures of Greece and Rome, focusing on Antiquity but including all periods from the Bronze Age to Modern Greece. This study is important, as the origins of western and much Near Eastern literature, philosophy, art, religion, and social forms lay in the ancient world.

“The Modern Greek Program is very active in Central Ohio’s Greek community and helps organize the annual Greek Festival at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Cathedral.”
