Classical Studies

Classical studies explore the Greek and Roman worlds in all their aspects: languages, culture, literature, history, and thought, alongside a variety of research fields and scientific methodologies. At different institutions, students can choose a specialization in language or culture: Greek language and literature, Roman language and literature, or Greek and Roman culture. Courses in the degree include ancient Greek in its main dialects; Roman language (Latin); Greek and Roman literature, both in the original languages and in translation; the history and historiography of Greece and Rome; ancient philosophy; the mythology of Greece and Rome; and the art and culture of Greece, Rome, and the Land of Israel, from the pre-Classical period through late antiquity, and more.
