The History Department notes with sadness the passing of eminent historian of Ancient Greek & Roman history and Brooklyn College alumnus Donald Kagan, class of 1954. Prof. Kagan was a history major at BC.
Our condolences to his family.

For #ReliefWednesday, a marble relief in the BM showing the Apotheosis of Homer, signed by Archelaos of Priene. It dates between 225-205 BCE & was found at Bovillae, but may have originated in Alexandria. Homer is seated at the bottom; Zeus is at the top.
