What is it?

The primary aims of Antigone are:

1. To introduce any interested reader to the world of Greek and Roman antiquity;
2. To show how engagement with these cultures can be exciting, constructive, rich and rewarding for people based anywhere in the modern world;
3. To provide the tools and information to help people immerse themselves in this material; to assist readers in their exploration of the literary texts and material culture of Ancient Greece and Rome; and to aid, encourage and promote study in the technical aspects of the discipline (such as the Greek and Latin languages, linguistics, epigraphy, palaeography, textual criticism, numismatics, visual analysis and archaeology);
