Ancient Greek in the Park

I have always been in favour of the popularisation of Ancient History and the Classics, since I believe that this is the only way for the discipline to remain alive. In accordance to my belief, I present here the announcement of Greek language sessions taking place outdoors in Oxford during the Spring and the Summer. Specifically, The Iris Project will be starting up a new series of free lessons for adults and families. Ancient Greek in the Park will involve a series of free hour-long weekly sessions introducing the ancient Greek language. The sessions will initially take place in Bury Knowle Park and South Park in East Oxford.

The sessions are relaxed and informal, and no knowledge of the Classical world or ancient Greek is expected or needed. People from all walks of life come along to enjoy the classes, and there is no charge for the teaching.

For more information, and if you’d like to get involved in these sessions, please get in touch through the website www.irismagazine.org

  1. This is exactly the kind of thing our discipline needs in order to stay alive.
