Introduction

Classics is the study of the civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome. This includes their literature, religion, mythology, history, philosophy and art, and also their physical settings, their interactions with surrounding societies, and their influence on later cultures to the present day. The scope of the discipline is vast both in space (not just the territories of the modern states of Greece and Italy but most of western Europe, the Middle East and North Africa) and time (a period of at least two thousand years, from the start of the Bronze Age in Europe in the second millennium B.C. to the dawn of the Middle Ages). Classics at the University of Toronto is not just looking at the past but engaging with issues of compelling and enduring relevance, including: gender and sexuality; the nature of freedom and the basis of political power and legitimacy; how relationships should and do work between parents and children; whether democracy is compatible with imperialism; what it means to be in love; how people cope with the fear of death; and when, if ever, it is right to go to war.

The Department of Classics welcomes students of all academic backgrounds who wish to take courses in the field but do not wish to specialize in Classical Studies. Even without knowing Greek or Latin, students can profitably study Greek and Roman history or Greek and Latin literature in translation - two areas combined under the designation CLA (for Classical Civilization courses) below. Similarly, the Major and Minor Programs in Classical Civilization presuppose no knowledge of the classical languages.

Advanced work in Greek and Latin does require study of the basic language courses in sequence. These are listed below under the designations GRK (for Greek courses) and LAT (for Latin courses). The Department of Classics publishes an undergraduate handbook which may be obtained from the departmental office and is published on the internet; this and other information about the Department is available at:

Faculty of Arts & Science Language Citation

The Department of Classics participates in the Faculty of Arts and Science’s Language Citation initiative for Ancient Greek and Latin.  The study of Ancient Greek and Latin is a demanding and intellectually rewarding educational experience which makes available to the modern student the rich resources of classical texts in the original languages.  Successful study of these languages demonstrates intelligence, discipline, analytical sophistication, and an excellent memory.  The study of any foreign language provides invaluable insights into the varieties of human culture and expression.

In each language the Language Citation recognizes a significant level of achievement in language study with a high level of academic success. 

The Citation in Latin is available to students who complete LAT101H1 and LAT102H1  (or the equivalent prerequisite training) and earn a grade of at least B- in LAT201H1, LAT202H1 and any two LAT half-courses at the 300 level.

The Citation in Ancient Greek is available to students who complete GRK101H1 and GRK102H1 (or the equivalent prerequisite training) and earn a grade of at least B- in GRK201H1, GRK202H1 and any two GRK half-courses at the 300 level.

Students should note that, as explained on page 20 of this Calendar, the Language Citation is not equivalent to an academic program and that enrolment in a program is not necessary in order to earn the recognition bestowed by the Citation.
