Greek

As studied in the context of the Classics, Philosophy, and Religious Studies programs at Lewis & Clark, Ancient Greek is the ancient language of the great texts of antiquity from Homer, Aeschylus, Euripides and Thucydides to the New Testament to the works of Byzantine Greek authors. Its temporal range is from the eighth century BCE to the fifteenth century CE. Thus learning Ancient Greek provides students access in the primary language to many of the most treasured texts in human history.

    The liberal arts allows students to be more than just whatever major or minor they have chosen. It means math majors transforming the creative writing program, and English majors taking Organic Chemistry.

    I like that within my major, you can really discuss anything. You can apply a sociological/anthropological lens to anything that you are interested in—the possibilities are truly endless.
