At the start of August, I completed the JACTGreekSummerSch Summer School! I had the most amazing time reading, studying and translating Greek. The lectures were beyond fascinating and I particularly enjoyed studying Homer’s ‘Odyssey’ Book XI and Sophocles’ ‘Philoctetes’.

I completed another archaeological dig this summer! I found some painted wall plaster, a horse jaw and lots of pieces of pottery. Such an exciting and rewarding experience! Thank you Archeoscan
