Welcome to Antigone, a site that seeks to make Classics open to all, whatever your knowledge and interests, whoever and wherever you are. We hope you enjoy exploring over 300 articles about all aspects of the Ancient Greek and Roman worlds. We publish new pieces each week, and our fortnightly editorial email lands in your inbox every other Sunday (just sign up below!).
You may be interested in our celebratory medley of favourite Greek and Latin texts, or the survey of our first and second anniversaries online.
If you’re interested in what we do, please contact or support us! We can also be found on Twitter @antigonejournal and Facebook here.
