Ed. Classics Society

Welcome back to the Edinburgh Uni Classics Society! After a little delay (woops!) we’re back and posting on twitter, stay tuned for details of events and more!

Hello everyone! 
Apologies for the late notice we’ve all been recovering from our trip to Marseille, but we are having our coffee morning tomorrow! It will be in Teviot from 11am until 1pm so make sure to pop in and come and say hi to us as a break from studying and deadlines!

Want to see what we got up to on our recent trip to Marseille?? Check out our tik tok linked in our bio 👀

@gaiacaecilia I hope you had fun!!!

Right. Food applied. Now to get dressed for a night out. Going to a @Edclassicssoc mythology themed night out. Theme is for any mythology so I'm being my usual niche self and going as Korrigan, a Breton water faery for lack of a better description.

It’s time for our AGM! Want to be part of next years committee? Apply here forms.gle/jae8Z6rKRWdnWJ…

I feel like this is the equivalent of when people stick googly eyes on posters

Super excited for our Madeline Miller event!!

Love a subversive retelling ' reclaiming / reimagining of the classics, a playful recentering of the best sidelined characters... Soooo thrilled to hear Circe's @MillerMadeline is making a (virtual) appearance in Edinburgh with our friends @EdUniFeminists on 17 march! 1/2

And just for fun, have this graphic I made
