The Smith College Classical Studies are published from time to time by the Departments of Greek and Latin of Smith College, and have for their main object the encouragement of research in classical literature, archaeology, and antiquities by providing an opportunity for the publication of studies in these fields by scholars connected with Smith College, as teachers, graduate students, or alumnae.
The author sets before the reader a lifelike picture of the deities of classical times as they were conceived and worshipped by the ancients themselves, and thereby to awaken in the minds of young students a desire to become more intimately acquainted with the noble productions of classical antiquity. The aim was to render the legends, which form the second portion of this work, a picture of old Greek life; its customs, superstitions, and princely hospitalities, for which reason they are given at somewhat greater length than is usual in works of this kind.

Classical Kids: Hallelujah Handel!
Classical Kids: Hallelujah Handel!
Hallelujah Handel presents a selection of excerpts from Handel's music, including orchestral work, choral numbers, concertos, and sonatas. The Classical Kids series is not designed for knowledgeable listeners; it was recorded for children unfamiliar with music, and in that sense it provides a good introduction for its audience. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
The Story: In 1750, George Frideric Handel gave musical history's greatest gift - his Messiah - to an orphanage in London
Is it music only?

Impressionistic novel by Virginia Woolf, published in 1922. Experimental in form, it centers on the character of Jacob Flanders, a lonely young man unable to synthesize his love of classical culture with the chaotic reality of contemporary society, notably the turbulence of World War I.
Written by an international range of renowned academics, this volume explores how women in antiquity influenced aspects of culture normally though of as male. Looking at politics, economics, science, law and the arts, the contributors examine examples from around the ancient world asking how far traditional definitions of culture describe male spheres of activity, and examining to what extent these spheres were actually created and perpetuated by women. Women’s Influence of Classical Civilization provides students with a valuable wider perspective on the roles and influence of women in the societies of the Greek and Roman worlds.
