We are delighted by news in today's @thetimes that Latin is now the fourth most taught language in primary schools! 📜
This heartening statistic reflects the efforts of Classics for All's work supporting Latin and classics in state schools.

Great to see this volume edited by our own Susan Deacy, Jose Magalhães and Jean Menzies @JeansThoughts @SusanDeacy @JMMagalhaes07
Covering a long chronology, this book journeys from Homer to Byzantium, to modern receptions, to the analysis of wartime rape, Greek tragedy, classical myth, how stories involving rape are retold for children, ancient law and rhetoric, classical art, modern literature and cinema.
