MA Classics candidate

Why Dal?
I chose to study in the H Classics Department because it's a great place to study ancient philosophy and literature in the original languages.
What inspires me
I am inspired by the beauty of ancient poetry, the thought in ancient philosophy and the dedication of the scholars who do their best to uncover both.
