Hi, I've just got rid of the address at the top of the home page. I hope you don't mind Karl as I wrote the address in the first place.

I've just edited the Sparta page, so if you are visitor, have a look! Just some information on this for everyone, I have added my notes on Lycurgus so anyone who didn't make it to the last meeting should have a look at this to catch up and I reckon its all you need to answer Review 2. I also thought that the font on the Sparta page was a bit boring and hard on the eyes so I changed the font to Verdana so as to improve it.

Glossary

If anyone has missed out on the Greek Religion topic which includes Ben M., you can access the Glossary which will be useful in the answers to the review questions. These include meanings and there uses in Greek Society.

Hi everyone, I was just wondering because I decided to do an essay on the Spartan Social System, if anyone else in the club was going to do an essay so that we can practice essay-writing for the exam? Anyone interested?

This Blogs uses+

For anyone who has just found this site and are unaware of its uses, then I think I should bring some clarity on to the subject. Even though Karl has said something brief about it, this blog has two reasons for its creation:

1)To spread awareness of Classics Club and to attract more people to it at Kings.

                       

2)  To inform members of information about the Club like whether it is being held this   week and whether someone can make it.

Please use this site if you wish to get in contact with the club, if you want to join the club and get involved.

Welcome!

Welcome to the King's Classical Civilisation Club
This blog will outline what we do and will provide information about the club.
