It was an honour to welcome the Roman Woman and Soldier from Leg II AUG , Out of Choas, Aug and Caroline Lawrence giving her excellent talk about her Roman Mysteries series! Huge fun was had by all - as well as some scary gladiatores made!
Dies Internationalis Feminarum! See the displays around College of some of the foremost women from antiquity and in classical reception currently #iwd2022 @HurstRespect
A massive congratulations to Aurelia, Rory and Natalya for their Classical Related EPQ presentations today - hugely impressive pieces of work which were very well researched!
Also look out for Hurst Classics and Miss Faulkner at the Open morning tomorrow - armed with plenty of fun activities!
The new L6 Class Civ enjoyed getting the playdoh out to build Alcinous’ palace from Book 7 of the Odyssey today. Look out for Phoebe’s dachshund interpretation of Hephaestus’ dogs!
A real pleasure to welcome prospective new discupuli at the Open Morning Today. A massive thanks to all the Shell and L6 who helped out. The future of Latin is bright !
domum redit!! 🏴
A huge thank you to all those that made our Y7 Roman afternoon a huge success. Much fun was had by all the students (and staff alike!). Certainly the Y7 are never going to forget what sponge on sticks were used for now!

I was honoured to kick off @Hurst_Classics big Roman Afternoon today with my talk 'Mysteries of Ancient Rome' to year 7. It was great to hear kids laugh over Zoom as I concluded my presentation with my infamous sponge-stick routine. Please send pictures of the rest of the day? 😁
This promises to be a great watch, a modern retelling of Sophocles' Antigone, by the amazing Out of Chaos Troupe - followed by a powerhouse discussion headed up by Paul Cartledge. A must see!

If you’re ever in any doubt on why studying Classical Subjects is worthwhile - Stephen Fry spells it out convincingly here !

It’s great to see Ben Earl exploring his love of Classics further at university whilst playing professional rugby for England and Bristol. An great example for students to follow!
Hurst Classics retweeted
Y'all, I made a timeline of authors for my Greek and Roman lit survey class and I'm quite proud of it. Was it supposed to be done for last class and wasn't because I got way too into it? Technically, yes. But I maintain it's worth it.

Join us @ 3.15 on 27.1.21 for another great HSU talk: This time from Nick Lowe of Royal Holloway who will be talking on the topic of “Aristotle’s Poetics from Athens to Hollywood” This is of particular interest for those interested in Theatre and Literary Reception
A huge thank you to Fiachra Mac Góráin from UCL Classics department for his insightful and poignant talk on “The Death of the Young in Virgil’s Aeneid”. It is massively helpful to both U6 Latin and CC, and introduced classical reception to many for the first time!
“The more eloquent the misfit , The greater the punishment he deserves, because thinking that his eloquence and pretty words will get him out of any injustice, he has the audacity to commit even greater evils” A great chance to hear a reading and discussion of Euripides’ Medea!

Powerful read and a reminder that ancient sites will still be there when this is over. theguardian.com/travel/2020/ma…
