Description

The Winter 2016 Classics Film and Stage series “Mimeseis” shows students how ancient texts continue to translate into modern literatures and productions.

David Crane, assistant professor of classics, said the value of the series for both classics and non-classics majors lies in the heightened awareness of the enduring charms of classical traditions.

All screenings will take place at 6 p.m. in room 176 in Lake Michigan Hall on the Allendale Campus.
