We’re having a bit of a Janus moment today!
As we look forward to another jam-packed term, we also look back on the Senior Classics Dinner with @lehclassics at the end of the spring term. Suited, booted and treated to a riveting talk by none other than Professor Caroline Vout!
Fun Fact : the root of eclipse is two ancient Greek words, ἐκ (out of) and λείπω (I leave) which together made ἐκλείπω (I disappear or abandon). This was the verb used to describe the sun or moon when it vanished. The noun - ἔκλειψις - came into English via Latin and French.
We conclude our ἀριστεία parade with a list of those deemed most mighty with the stylus. 📜🪶
Congratulations go to: Charles, Amar, Lucas, Alex and Oliver for their Classics Quiz victory; Mayank for his Bingo win; and Joshua for his edifying (and deifying…) meme.
The Apollo to one’s Artemis, the Castor to one’s Pollux, the silly photo to one’s serious…
No Hampton Classics trip would be complete without the best silly photo competition! Featuring ancient headphones, cramped culs-de-sac and performances worthy of the Panathenaia!
Landing like Xerxes
To conquer Kronos’ mist
In myth-strewn Hellas.
(CRB, 2024)
Competition was fierce in our trip’s haiku, limerick and photo competitions!
Some of the best entries for ‘Best Serious Photo’ are below. μέγα κύδος to Lorenzo for his winning photo of Sounion!
Our final stop was Corinth Canal, a *deeply* impressive passage between the Corinthian and Saronic Gulfs. We can confirm that no bungy-jumping took place!
A final group photo with one of the most famous ancient structures: the Lion Gate in Mycenae. We’re now en route to our final stop in Corinth for an early lunch before we head back to the airport.
After a relaxing afternoon on the beach of Tolo yesterday a final early start to visit Mycenae on our last day in Greece, one of the oldest Greek civilisations around!
