A subject not commonly offered by many school sixth-forms and colleges, Classical Civilisation offers the opportunity to study the literary and material culture of the Ancient Greeks and Romans. You will explore aspects of classical civilisation which have been significant in the development of the modern world, and develop an important understanding of classical societies and their values. This course will particularly appeal to students with an interest in literature and history, and combines well with subjects including Ancient History, History, English Literature, Drama, Art and Philosophy. Areas of study at AS Level include The Odyssey (the study of epic poetry, historical background and culture) and Tragedy (the study of Aeschylus’ Agamemnon, Sophocles’ Antigone and Euripides’ Medea and Electra, as well as the cultural context of all these plays).
