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.

Past events

  • Regular tea party and discussion groups. Past discussion topics have included:
    • The Severe Style of ancient Greek sculpture
    • Euripides
    • Alcestis
    • The traditional style between the stylized archaic and the realistic classical styles
  • Homerathon
    • Club members read aloud from several books of a work by Homer during a marathon session.
  • Classics Party
    • At the end of each spring term, members dine on Mediterranean food and read ancient plays.
  • Trips to museums and theaters to see exhibits and productions of classical plays

Some day that in understanding literature today, it is important to understand its roots. Join Classics Club to explore the roots of ancient literature, art, and theater, and explore questions of the classics with others.
