"I myself have always found it beneficial to combine things Latin with things Greek; I think you should do the same."

 -Cicero-

Students in Greek Mythology class perform a scene from Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound.

Dedicated to the Roman God Jupiter, the Ides fell on the day of the full moon in the Roman calendar.  Because a full moon comes halfway through each lunation, its day was called 'Idus' in Latin, meaning "divide".  Greek and Roman Studies celebrates the Ides each month during the academic year with a guest speaker or performance.
