We are pleased to announce that the winner of this year’s Essay Competition is Thomas Stranex (University of Cape Town) for an essay titled ‘Is it fair to say that Reason triumphs in Sophocles’ Ajax?’.

The adjudicators were pleased with the high standard of work submitted this year and considerable deliberation was needed before the winning essay could be identified.

A reminder that the CASA Essay Competition closes at the end of this week. All entries should be e-mailed to Dr Sjarlene Thom at st@sun.ac.za. This year the competition is open to undergraduates only. Where possible, the institution should submit essays to the panel on their students’ behalf.

The Columbia University Department of Classics and the Classical Studies Graduate Program are delighted to announce the creation of two fellowships for Columbia’s post-baccalaureate certificate in Classics.

The year-long post-baccalaureate certificate in Classics, offered through the School of Professional Studies, provides college graduates with the opportunity to improve their facility with ancient Greek and Latin and to expand their knowledge of the ancient world.
