Athenian Democracy and the Roman legal system provided the models for modern democratic societies and governments based on the rule of law. Greek and Roman texts pose questions that set the stage for subsequent western thought and that remain vital in our own times. Greek and Roman works of art have been touchstones in the history of western art and literature, and the ancient works continue to provide inspiration for modern artists. The classics program at Knox focuses on the civilizations -- language, history, philosophy, science, art, and literature -- of ancient Greece and Rome. Students have the option of three majors and minors -- Greek and Roman Culture , Latin, and Greek. While many classes are surveys that assume no previous exposure to the classics, they form a context for more specialized courses in the program. Language courses in Greek and Latin aim at reading comprehension that opens the way to a more subtle understanding of the ancient texts. They also lead to a more thoughtful reflection on the English language. The Program The major in Greek and Roman culture requires a total of 11 courses -- three advanced language courses in either Latin or Greek , the three course classics sequence, two electives within the department, the introductory art history course, one approved course in methodology or theory, and senior seminar.
