Join the Classics and Medieval Studies departments as we welcome Dr. Marylynn Salmon for a talk on Ancient Evidence for Congenital Syphilis in Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece on Wednesday, September 17th at 5:00 pm in Lincoln Hall 1002!
Please join us for our Latin Conversation Table at the IGB Cafe (a.k.a. Cafe Array) from 1 - 1:50 p.m. on Wednesdays!
Professor Leon recently taught a course on Sports and Society in Greece. Check out some images from CLCV 250, which will be offered again in Greece in Spring 2026!
Graduate student Eleonora Mylli led her CLCV 115 section to the Krannert Amphitheater for an immersive, hands-on exploration of ancient theater. Students engaged with a Latin comedy, bringing the material to life by adapting and performing their own creative interpretations.
Whether you have a language requirement to fulfill or just want to learn something new, consider taking Latin, Ancient Greek, or Modern Greek with our department this fall.
From donkey chariots to shrines, the ancient Olympics were a spectacle of history and myth. As classics professor Dan Leon teaches, these Games were more than just sports—they were a religious festival that shaped a civilization. 🏺 ▶️ las.illinois.edu/news/2024-07-1…
