    Heh, when I did the L.C. a few years back, I quit physics and took up classical studies instead in the last year, it's insanely easy in comparison to physics, cheer up guys ;)

    Well? How did everyboydy do?

    What topics did everyone do?

    i did roman historians: 2 kinda half essays on teh characters of claudius and Nero.

    then Greek drama: to LOVELY questions on how euripides makes us elieve that medea is capable of murdering her children, and how "three roads meet" is the turning point in Oedipus Rex.

    moving onto ancient epic, a NICE question on loyalty in the odyssey and its rewards, and ANOTHER lovely question on the similiarities and differences between voyages of odysseus and aeneid.

    finally, we have philosophy... need i say more?

    did alexander- great questions, gedrosian desert and what the execution of parmenio, philotas, cleitus and callisthenes says about him.
    drama- great questions on medea and oedipus but i think i still managed to bungle them slightly.
    roman art/arcitecture- nice enough
    epic- great questions. really feel now though that i should have heeded my teachers advice and studied turnus.

    all in all i think i did ok though :)
