Facets of Classics (Languages): Lost in Translation

Facets of Classics is a series of workshops for A-Level students of philosophy, history, languages and literature, who do not have the opportunity to study classics at school. The workshops are designed to help students apply the skills they have learnt in other disciplines to studying classical material, in order to empower them to take on a new subject at university. The workshops are designed to draw key connections between a subjects they already study and classics. The "Lost in Translation" languages workshop takes students through the puzzles of Greek and Latin (with no prior knowledge of knowledge of either language required), before taking Antigone as a case study to reveal how translation can also mean manipulation. In this video Maria Haley, the workshop leader, explains more about the content.
