Classics
Libraries: The Institute of Classical Studies.
Now based at Senate House in the University of London the Institute libraries is a
fantastic source for classicists especially those based in or around London. Membership
costs £15 at present for undergraduates and £25-27 for others. It is well worth looking
at their site, especially if you are doing research as there may well be a reduction in the
costs in certain cases.
Some Recommendations:
The Anglo-Hellenic Review a twice yearly periodical covering all aspects of Greece and the Greek World, Ancient
and Modern. The AHR has the latest news from Greece, features, lists of forthcoming events and some of the best
reviews of books to be found anywhere.
'Omnibus' is a periodical of interesting articles with Classical themes, published by JACT and obtainable
from them at Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU and from us.
'Actors of Dionysus' In addition to their own production company AOD also produce a video 'The Face of Tragedy'
(£16.99 + £1.50 p&p) which features seven professionally filmed and dramatised scenes from Aeschylus, Sophocles
and Euripides. They also produce booklets and are responsible for the excellent audiotape of Euripides Medea,
translated by David Stuttard and published by Penguin Books (£10.99 +75p p&p). All of the above are available from
us, but if you need to get in touch with them their addresses is:

Greek Teachers
(if you want your name added to this list, email
Stelios Jackson.)
Private tuition does not come cheap. Very few things of any lasting value do. There are a few things that can be
learned before you feel that you might like to start to pay for this specialist tuition. Firstly, join a
class if you are able. The City Lit in Stuckely Street, WC2, comes highly recommended, as
do others. While there is no substitute for one-to-one tuition, it would be an idea if you
knew such things as the Greek alphabet. Why pay for private tuition when you can learn it
for yourself in a weekend. Get prepared and be prepared, that way private tuition will be
of the highest benefit to you...and believe me, it will benefit you...greatly.
There will be a list of Modern Greek teachers here within the next few months; if you are a teacher, able to give
private tuition send me your e-mail, stating where you are and I shall link you to this page. This will be a page
in its own right by mid-2004, hopefully detailing a hundred or so teachers in various parts of the UK.
