Course programme
Some find the idea of Classics at A Level intimidating, but it need not be; it is a rigorous academic subject but it is not a requirement to have studied the subject before or to have any knowledge of Latin or Greek, all texts studied are in English translation . The important thing is that students are ready to learn and are prepared to embrace the study of a range of topics, through two modules in the first year (AS),
History (Cicero)
Literature (The Iliad)
This course introduces history, literature and a range of other topics centred on ancient Greece and Rome. Students will learn about the life and times of the great Roman philosopher-statesman Cicero, his desperate attempts to save his beloved Republic from the descent into conspiracy and civil war and his relationships with the likes of Pompey the Great, Julius Caesar and the future Emperor Augustus. Students will also study and explore Homer's Iliad, both as a great piece of literature and for what it tells us about ancient ideas of honour, revenge, glory and the power of the Gods.
