Congratulations to Sydney Hertz (Barnard first year) and Gavin Barba (Columbia postbac) for their first prizes in Greek at the 2022 New York Classical Club’s Competition in the Oral Reading of Greek and Latin! Because of the Covid pandemic, this year’s contest was video-based. Sydney and Gavin submitted films of themselves reciting a set passage from Euripides’ Bacchae (Agaue with the head of Pentheus), impressing the judges both with their linguistic and metrical accuracy and their dramatic impressiveness.
