Classics

The languages, cultures, discoveries, disciplines, histories, literature, and ways of life of the "Classical" Greek, Hellenistic, Carthaginian, and Roman/Roman-allied civilizations; covering a period of time approximately from 600 BC to AD 600. n.b. This will, of necessity, not include prior civilizations in the same area (such as Phoenicia in its heyday, Pharaonic Egypt, the Etruscans, Archaic Greece, etc.) The one notable exception will be several works of literature composed in the gap between Mycenean Greece and Classical Greece, which heavily influenced the direction of the following society, namely Homer, Hesiod, and the Homeric Hymns.
