   "A fearful hound guards the house in front, pitiless, and he has a cruel trick. On those who go in he fawns with his tail and both is ears, but suffers them not to go out back again, but keeps watch and devours whomsoever he catches going out of the gates of strong Hades and awful Persephone."

-Theogony (769-73)

Inherently interdisciplinary, Classics is the study of all aspects of ancient Greece and Rome, and of the impact of these civilizations on later cultures and our own times. Although courses in Ancient Greek and Latin enable students to read authors such as Homer, Plato, and Virgil in their original languages as early as the second year of language study, many Classics courses at USM—mythology, epic, and civilization courses in Greece and Rome, for instance—require no knowledge of Greek or Latin. All courses in Classics stress the connection of the discipline to the humanities and to the arts of reading, writing, speaking, and critical thought.
