Apogeee Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 If you have chosen to cleave to one language over another, are you a Hellenist or a Latinist? It's perfectly okay to be either, or both. I am just wondering what people here think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pro Augustis Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 By the terms of the standard divide, I am a Latinist: my focus is Roman, and I have simply read far more Latin than Greek at this point. I can't say that I really identify as a Latinist, though. I think of myself as a Roman Historian, a job that surely requires both Latin and Greek. Trying to not be wholly pigeonholed into one or the other seems to be one of the potential challenges of being a historian in a Classics department.
