Classics is the study of the ancient Mediterranean World from the Bronze Age to the early Middle Ages. The field entails the study of the ancient languages (ancient Greek, Latin, and Classical Hebrew), literature, art, material culture, and history of ancient Greece, Rome and the Near East.
The Classics Department is an intercollegiate program, with faculty members at Pomona, Scripps, Claremont McKenna and Pitzer. The breadth of study and resources available are thus much greater than normally found at typical small liberal arts colleges. The Department offers a variety of approaches to the ancient world, including philology, history, archeology, philosophy, literary criticism, and cultural studies.
Richard McKirahan's chief interests include Greek language and civilization, ancient philosophy and ancient science. He has published the widely read book
Philosophy Before Socrates, as well as Principles and Proofs, a book on Aristotle's philosophy of science. In addition, he has published a translation of Simplicius'
Commentary on Aristotle's Physics.
Christopher Chinn focuses on Latin poetry, and is interested in the relationship between art and text. He has published several articles on Statius, Pliny the Younger, the elder Philostratus, and other writers, and is currently working on a book titled
Statius’ Ekphrastic Poetics.
Faculty at the other Claremont Colleges: Ellen Finkelpearl (SC), David Roselli (SC), Stephen Glass (PZ), Shane Bjornlie (CM).
