Classical Literature

Dear Parents, December 2023

We are finishing our study of Greek tragedy with the playwright Sophocles' masterful works, Oedipus and Antigone. In these plays, Sophocles raises important questions about self-knowledge, wisdom, justice and natural law. In class, the students have enjoyed acting out the plays -- a welcome change of pace from the lengthy feat of reading the Iliad. However, students are already reaping the benefits of their hard work on the Iliad as our epic journey through Greek mythology is all the richer with it. 

Students may use the final exam study guide and additional resources posted under the Greek tragedy dropdown menu. They will receive a study guide in class and two full class periods of review. They may attend tutoring for additional study time. 

Thank you for your continued partnership. I hope your family is enjoying the holiday season! 

Kind regards,

Ms. Lind
