Research and Teaching
The Department of Classics is divided into three chairs – for Latin Literature, for Greek and Latin Linguistics, and for Ancient Greek Literature – which also reflect the department’s areas of research.
Across all fields, the examination of ancient texts, their precise interpretation, their literary and linguistic theoretical foundations and frameworks, and a continuous methodological reflection form the core of our researchers’ academic work.
Many visitors from other parts of Germany and abroad regularly come to Heidelberg to discuss their ideas and develop their work further and so greatly enrich our research and teaching community.
