Animus Classics Journal

03/18/2024

We're excited to announce that the newest issue of our journal is officially here and available online! Thanks to the hard work of all of our team--peer reviewers, copy editors, contributors, and Staff members--we were able to put this fabulous journal together.

Our Winter 2024 issue features works including analyses of Roman Republican masculinity, the myth of Ganymede, death and marriage, and ancient Cypriot figurines, alongside a set of innovative translation and creative works, including an embroidered metamorphosis, a rousing speech to the maenads, and a haunting journey with Charon.

We're proud to be able to present this journal, and we hope that you enjoy it as much as we do.
