Course summary

“There is little as illuminating as civilisation’s distant past, especially as we move towards a global age of increasing tensions. In the same vein, there are few subjects like Ancient History— within which our ancient pasts can be rediscovered and learnt from. Take the rise of 5th century Athenian demagogy against modern American politics, for example: the likes of Cleon vs. Donald Trump serve as a clear parallel and prove the eternal relevance of the classical world”
