Further Information & Notes

This course will be taught simultaneously with 'The Classical Heritage'; but this tranche of students will be assessed in week 6. It follows that no student can sign up for both 'The Classical Heritage' and for 'The Glory that was Greece', which are, so to say, anti-requisites.
