Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Illinois Classical Studies publishes scholarship on ancient Greek and Roman literature, history, and culture. Recent articles analyze themes of fake news, disinformation, and invective in classical texts, explore literary reception and influence between ancient authors, and examine the representation of characters, gender, and social dynamics. The journal also features studies on textual criticism and the interpretation of specific passages from classical works, as well as the enduring influence of the classical tradition on later periods.
