Classics Club

If you are interested in Ancient Greek mythology, classic literature, Ancient Rome, and other aspects of the antiquated Mediterranean world, the Classics Club at Knox offers a place  where you can go to have open discussion with others who share a passion for the classics.

Also known as Amici Antiquitatis, the Classics Club brings people together to gain a better understanding of the ancient cultures from which the field of Classics is derived.
