Welcome to the website!
We are a group of academic scholars interested in studying the prevalence of Classical themes and events in modern culture, particularly the popular television show Game of Thrones. As a widely watched TV Show, Game of Thrones is a representation of contemporary thought, perspectives, and norms that permeate culture. As a fantasy world, many of the characters, events, and even geographic landmarks are inspired by people in our world at various times through history. By understanding which events are used and how they are modified to suit the style of the show, we can explore our modern interpretations and understandings of these pivotal events.
This website is designed to provide public resources, like links and opportunities, as well as keep interested readers updated with events, news, and research ideas. Follow our blog to see posts from our members on topics related to classics and the show!
