Welcome to Classical Studies

The Department of Classical Studies focuses on everything about ancient Greece and Rome. We study archaeology, art, history, languages, literature, myth, philosophy, and religion. At Western you’ll find specialists in fields like Athenian tragedy, Greek athletics, medieval Latin manuscripts, and Roman clothing, but everyone here is excited to talk about any aspect of ancient Greece or Rome.
