Welcome to Legacy Durham, our newest Classics major and our first official major in the class of 2028!

In a much-anticipated sequel, the grad students mapped out their Late Republican love triangle with the arrows running in the reverse direction. (The initials belong to the 2 co-authors.)

Where in the world is Prof. Thatcher? This weekend he's in Verona (seen here in front of the local amphitheater), giving a paper at a conference on Pyrrhus' Legacy!

Beloved former BC Classics Professor Ted Ahern is downsizing & we’ve inherited his Classics library. Some books will go into a majestic library book sale, others are going onto our seminar room shelves for students to use—including this gem by Mastarna '86!

Another delightful find in the Ted Ahern book collection: a Terence OCT given to him by the Plautus class of 1990! Now gracing the Classics seminar room shelves!

Do you know any high school Latin (or Greek!) students who would like to contribute to Dickinson College Commentaries in an internship over the summer? Please urge them to apply! blogs.dickinson.edu/dcc/2024/12/19…

BC Classics Club announces its 1st event of the term: PowerPoint Night! 5-min. fun, loosely classical presentations—think Socrates as a Swifty, Classics students in the Hunger Games, & media equivalents of beloved Professors. Plus pizza! Tue. Jan. 21, 4:30-6, Stokes 221S.

Hey you! Would you like to have EVEN MORE FUN w/the Classics dept & learn some ancient Greek? Prof. Eisenfeld & Classics major Felix Carcamo-Rodas are starting a club for the Greek-curious! First meeting this Fri, 1/31, 4 pm. Shaving cream! silliness! snacks! the Greek alphabet!

New BMCR review of a "worthy" edited vol, w/a chapter by Prof. Sapsford that "explores the multiple dimensions of kinaidia reflected in Greek sources from imperial Rome." bmcr.brynmawr.edu/2025/2025.01.4…

Great turn-out & lots of fun at the first meeting of our new Greek club, where Greek-curious students practiced writing the alphabet in shaving cream! (Photo credit: Felix Carcamo-Rodas)

Hot off the press, it's Prof. Thatcher's new Classical Quarterly article, "Thucydides, Segesta and Leontini: Rethinking the Sicilian Expedition"! cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Congratulations to Ruby Mae Miller & Caelan LaChance, this year‘s co-winners of the Max Wainer Prize for Outstanding Achievement in Classical Studies!

Once upon a time, Dean John P. Foley SJ granted one Robert A. Greene permission to take Greek. Bob went on to be a Triple Eagle & professor of English at UMass Boston. His permission slip can still be found in a student edition of the Iliad in the BC Classics seminar room.
