Classics or Classical Studies is a historical study, consisting of an analysis of the languages ([[Greek]], [[Latin]]), [[culture]], [[history]] and thought of the ancient civilisations of the Graeco-Roman world, being that of ancient [[Greece]] and [[Rome]]. Someone who studies Classics is known as a Classicist, and a Classicist may study subjects of antiquity ranging from texts like Homer's [[Iliad]] to the everyday lifestyle of the people who lived in the societies that composed these great works. Classics encompasses the study of all aspects of the ancient world, from the history of slavery, poetry, art, ethnicity, etc, and the overlapping contexts of these many fields.
