Calling All Primary Teachers! Meet the Olympians!

CAS is proud to announce that it has collaborated with a number of enthusiastic and expert teachers to create a unit of works based around the Ancient Greek gods! Meet the Olympians is designed with Scottish state primary schools in mind, and offers teachers and pupils the chance to engage with the various deities which continue to spark the popular imagination in books, TV and film.

The course is designed so that it can be taught as a whole, covering a term’s worth of lessons, or can be split up and used as individual tasks in different areas. It is mapped against benchmarks of the Curriculum for Excellence, and covers a range areas.

These materials are offered entirely free, and with the potential for financial support from Classics for All, if schools desire to embed a little bit of the ancient world in their setup.

We are hugely excited by this project, and hope that many primary teachers take the chance to find out more and journey with us to Mt Olympus!

Date: Wednesday 30th March

Time: 5pm 

Location: Online (Microsoft Teams). Email [email protected] for more information.

Artistic Responses to Antiquity

Artistic Responses to Antiquity

Saturday 3rd April 2021 (2-5pm)

The ancient world is a dazzling place full of different languages, cultures, faiths and population groups. It is something that is altogether familiar and yet incredibly detached from our daily existence in the twenty-first century. While some groups have historically claimed ownership of the classical past, the real beauty of Classics is that it is no one group’s sole inheritance. In being familiar-yet-different, the ancient world has provoked an array of literary and artistic responses. From the opulent imagery of Neoclassical artist Jacques-Louis David, or the Romanticism of Laurence Alma-Tadema – Greece, Rome and other ancient civilisations have informed and inspired artists for centuries.

In more recent times a new wave of artists is arising, individuals who respond to classical imagery in their own personal way and channel antiquity in new and exciting projects: Marian Maguire’s Goddesses (2019), for instance, reimagined female Greek deities through a feminist lens; Webtoon series Punderworld (Linda Šejić) and Lore Olympus (Rachel Smythe) have mainstreamed Greek myths into weekly webcomics; the University of Edinburgh’s Aeclanum project was recently the subject of an exhibition in Cambridge’s Museum of Classical Archaeology for its use of comic art to build a public engagement strategy created by artist and public archaeologist Zofia Guertin.

This seminar will give participants the opportunity to hear from a selection of artistic classicists, before being challenged to create their own classically-inspired work of art in only one hour’s time!

In this hour we guide attendees in creating their own classically-inspired masterpiece!

Session I:

This session will provide an overview of how classically-inspired artwork has developed over time, and how this fits into the wider theory of Classical Reception. The session will demonstrate how artwork has been an important aspect in the evolution of Classics, and how it continually evolves still. This section will be divided between two presentations, with plenty time for Q&A.

Session II:

This session moves participants on from the wider theory and history underpinning artistic responses to antiquity, and offers the chance to hear from three artists who create works inspired by the ancient world. Each artist will take time to explain their personal relationship with the ancient world, how this has impacted on their subsequent creations,

Session III:

In this session, we hand over to the participants. Within the hour, we guide attendees in creating their own classically-inspired masterpiece! Our artistic experts will be on-hand for the duration of the session to field questions and enquiries while we help each other create pieces that chart our own relationships with the ancient world. We will ask people to take pictures of their creations so that we can create a ‘virtual gallery’ on the Classical Association of Scotland website, and we will be sharing a hashtag so that our creations can be shared on social media, too!

Prior to the seminar, Zoom links and a package of images will be sent out to all registered participants. You do not need to purchase anything specific prior to the sessions, only have to hand anything that you will want to create your piece of art!

This session brings together an exciting group of classicists and artists:

Dr Briana King (University of St Andrews)

Zofia Guertin (PhD Candidate – University of St Andrews) @ZofiaAstrid

Dr Maria Haley (University of Leeds/University of Manchester) @marianuncsum

Flora Kirk (MA, University of Durham) @flaroh

As with all of our sessions, it is absolutely free to attend, but registration is required. To sign up or for more information, please contact Dr Alex Imrie ([email protected])

Ritual and the Many Faces of Power


***DUE TO UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES, THIS SEMINAR WILL TAKE PLACE ON SATURDAY 27TH FEBRUARY 2021, NOT 20TH FEB, AS ORIGINALLY ADVERTISED***

CAS is pleased to announce the latest in its ongoing series of free online seminars designed to offer a friendly and accessible introduction to ancient topics to a global audience. On Saturday 27th February, we will be sharing a fascinating examination of ‘power’ in antiquity. Moving beyond the self-evident constructs of violent authority or bribery, these sessions examine how ritual behaviour can achieve a mode of ‘soft power’ that we find surprisingly commonly in our own 21st century society.

Session 1: The Basics of Power (2pm-3pm)

In this session, we consider different manifestations of power. Firstly, we will set out the traditional view of power as wealth and military resources. Hereafter, we will venture into more sophisticated models of ‘soft power.’ Building on this, and using varied case studies, we will consider how more sophisticated models can allow us to appreciate the power of rituals both in antiquity and modernity.

Session 2: The Admission Ritual in the Roman World (3pm-4pm)

In this session we will explore how the admission, traditionally seen as an unimportant ceremony from the days of the Roman Republic, played an active role in the construction of imperial power and legitimacy. For example, early emperors presented themselves as ‘first among equals’ in their use of the admission, but this changed markedly in Late Antiquity, with the appearance of innovations such as bejewelled clothes and kneeling. This change prompted monarchic and divine qualities of the emperor to be emphasised which, in turn, transformed the public narrative justifying imperial power.

Session 3: Modern Rituals and their Significance (4pm-5pm)

In our final session, we will use insights gained about the significance of rituals to explore more modern ritual behaviour. While we could easily explore ceremonies connected to the British monarchy or parliament, Ritual Studies have recently moved away from seeing ritual merely as grand state events and has instead emphasised the ritual aspects of, for example, sporting matches and everyday life. Thus, attendees will be challenged to consider the significance both of large state sponsored rituals and of the small ‘rituals’ in their everyday lives. Our hope is that this will give them a better appreciation of the soft power that is constantly influencing them from numerous different sources.

The seminar will take place on Saturday 27th February 2021 (2-5pm) and will be delivered via Zoom.

The session will be led by Dr Mads Lindholmer (University of St Andrews). As with all of the CAS Online Seminars, these sessions will be free to attend, but registration will be required. To register your place on this seminar, please contact Dr Alex Imrie ([email protected]).

Egyptian Hieroglyphs for Beginners

CAS is excited to announce the latest in its ongoing series of completely free-to-access online seminars, designed to make the ancient world more accessible and to demonstrate that Classics and other Ancient Studies are doable by anyone and everyone, regardless of background or ability. Following our session on Hellenistic numismatics, we are closing out January 2021 with a seminar dedicated to Egyptian hieroglyphs!

While the magnificent remains of Pharaonic Egypt were well-known even in antiquity to Greeks, Romans and others alike, knowledge of the written script of this period, hieroglyphs, was eventually lost for centuries. It was only with the discovery of the Rosetta Stone that scholars were eventually able to decipher the language in the 18th Century. Despite its popular allure, however, the subject is not widely taught.

In this seminar, participants will be given the chance to get to grips with hieroglyphs in a fun and accessible way. Across three sessions, we will move from the very basics of how hieroglyphs function, through to forming sentences in the language. The final session will see participants engaging with authentic ancient texts, either a magical spell to chase demons away or a religious text known as the Creator God’s Apology.

The seminar will be led by Dr Angela McDonald, Senior Lecturer in Egyptology at University of Glasgow.

This set of sessions is targeted at absolute beginners, although all are welcome. We are particularly keen to hear from school pupils studying languages at Higher level and beyond (or equivalent) who might wish to take part. The seminar runs from 1.30-5pm on Saturday 30th January:

1.30pm-2.30pm  SESSION ONE: The Basics and beyond

Aimed at complete beginners, this session introduces the hieroglyphic script, the three functions of hieroglyphic signs, how words are formed and read, and introduces nouns and noun phrases.

2.30-2.40pm Break

2.40-3.40pm   SESSION TWO: People in action

This session focuses on the verbal system, introducing the key forms and how they’re negated, and provides the opportunity to practice reading sentences and short texts.

3.40-3.50pm Break

3.50-5pm   SESSION THREE: Reading practice in hieroglyphs

This session begins with a brief orientation before offering participants the choice of two breakout rooms with guided translation through different types of text:

  1. Medico-magical text – Spell to chase away night demons
  2. Religious text – the Creator God’s Apology

As with all CAS Online Seminars, these sessions are free to attend. They will all take place over Zoom. To register on the seminar, please contact Dr Alex Imrie ([email protected]). PLEASE NOTE: In your email, please specify which text you think you would like to study in Session 3.

Money in a New World: Introduction to Hellenistic Coinage

CAS is pleased to announce the next in its ongoing series of seminars designed to demystify the ancient world and to provide a friendly and accessible gateway into classical topics for learners of any background or ability. Starting off our series in 2021 will be a seminar on Hellenistic coinage!

The figure of Alexander the Great understandably casts a long shadow: his ruthless conquest of the Achaemenid Persian Empire, his claims to divinity and his early death all combine to make Alexander a true celebrity of the ancient world. Outside of academic circles, the period following Alexander’s demise is less well known. It is, however, a period well worth finding out more about. From almost the moment of Alexander’s death, it was clear that his trusted commanders could not be relied upon to maintain any degree of harmony, and soon afterwards they were fighting among themselves to carve out the largest pieces of their dead king’s massive empire. These so-called Successor Kingdoms would be contentious neighbours and rivals for centuries, the new Hellenistic era only truly ending with the death of Cleopatra in 30 BCE.

In this two-hour seminar, participants will be introduced to the history of this dynamic period, and will be given an introduction to studying ancient coinage (and how it compares to modern output). The seminar uses Hellenistic coinage to illustrate how these regimes sought to define and legitimise themselves. After these presentations, participants will get to grips with some ancient examples themselves, working in small groups to analyse some ancient coins and discover how much information can be extracted even from the smallest pieces of metal.

As with all our seminars, this session is entirely *free*, although registration will be required. To sign up, please contact Dr Alex Imrie ([email protected]

This session is being offered in conjunction with the Edinburgh University Classics Society. It has been designed by Jenny Shearer, an undergraduate student in Classics with a special interest in the period, with input from faculty members at the university. She will be assisted by a number of her colleagues in the society. This is an exciting opportunity to learn more about a less commonly publicised subject from antiquity, and to see a group of exciting young classicists demonstrating that the ancient world is far from inaccessible!

Greek Beginnings

The Classical Association of Scotland is pleased to announce the latest in its completely free-to-access Online Seminar Series: Greek Beginnings.

Following hot on the heels of our introductory Latin SessionGreek Beginnings offers learners the chance not only to engage with Ancient Greek language from scratch, but also offers the opportunity to get to grips with the opening sections of a number of famous Greek works. The seminar is rounded out with a session looking at the study of Ancient Greek more broadly. By the end of this seminar, you should have a real appreciation of the language on its own terms and the way in which it has survived and been transmitted to us today.

These sessions take place on Saturday 5th December 2020, and are open to all. Obviously the first session is targeted explicitly at those with no previous knowledge of Ancient Greek, but everyone is welcome. By that same token, absolute beginners will certainly be able to take something from the subsequent sessions on the day! In keeping with the rest of the seminar series, these sessions are *completely free*, although registration will be required to access the Zoom links:

Session One: This session, designed for beginners, introduces you to the Greek language. We’ll look at Greek words in English and how they work in a Greek sentence. By the end of the session, you’ll have an understanding of how a basic Greek sentence is constructed and translated.

Session Two: This is open to anyone interested in learning more about the study of ancient Greek, from absolute beginner to intermediate level. We’ll look at ‘beginnings’ in classical literature and focus on the defining opening words of famous works. We will discuss our reactions to these words and think about their role in shaping literary narrative and tradition.

Session Three: The final session is open to anyone interested in learning more about the study of ancient Greek. We will look at defining words from Greek literature in their wider cultural and historical context. We will think about changes in meaning and modern uses of terms alongside their ancient uses in literature.

Sessions will be led by Drs Ann-Sophie Schoess and Michael Carroll (University of St Andrews), and will run between 1.30-5pm (Session I: 1.30-2.30; Session II: 2.45-3.45; Session III: 4-5). 

To sign up, or for more information, please contact Dr Alex Imrie ([email protected]). PLEASE NOTE: once again, participants will need to register to receive the access codes for the Zoom live sessions.
