Classics is the study of the peoples of ancient Greece and the Roman empire, of their world, and of what people in later times have done with their memory. They had a deep influence that stretched first through the history of the European and Islamic worlds, and from there to many parts of the globe.<br><br>Classics majors learn one or both of the languages of ancient Greece (ancient Greek) or ancient Rome (Latin). The letters of the alphabet you are reading right now were invented thousands of years ago by the Romans. Classics is like that: you think you are learning about people ancient and far away, but then your perspective whirls around, and you see their enduring influence even today.<br><br>To understand the worlds of the ancient Greeks and the ancient Romans, we might study any aspect of their cultures and the cultures they encountered: myths, poetry, history, art, religion, drama, architecture, law, philosophy, music, science, politics, medicine, trade, and on it goes. We may then trace the ways people have seen and taken up those classical things in the many centuries since, from comedy to fine art and from political revolutions to popular film.
