When Mark Carney quoted Thucydides at Davos this week, he proved what we already know: Ancient Greek thought still shapes how we understand power today. 2,400+ years later, the classics remain essential reading for modern leaders. #Classics #AncientGreece #Thucydides #AncientBluesky

Think ancient history is just about the past? The questions Greeks and Romans asked about democracy, justice, citizenship, ethics, and human nature are the same ones we grapple with today. Applications for Greek and Roman Studies at #UOttawa now open for Sept 2026. #AncientHistory

Think studying Ancient Greek is irrelevant? When Mark Carney quoted Thucydides at Davos, it was because the Thucydides understood power dynamics better than most modern analysts. Ancient Greek isn't dead - it's speaking directly to our present. #Classics #Thucydides #PowerPolitics #AncientGreek
