The fifth issue of Iris magazine is out this month. The magazine is part of the Iris project, an educational charity promoting Classics in state schools, and half of all copies printed are sent free to state schools which don't offer any Classical subjects. The magazine includes articles, interviews, news, artwork, fiction, reviews, outreach schemes and ideas, all presented in exciting, modern and eclectic ways. This issue's contents are based on the theme of poetry and craft, and include:
- Two Ticks for Ovid and Horace: poet Maureen Almond reworks the classics
- What Not To Weave: fashions and fabric in the ancient world
- Greeks bearing gifts: the place of pottery in classical society
- Don't Look Back: Poetry and the tale of Orpheus
- Ancient magicians: instructions on classical wizardry
- chat with author Caroline Lawrence: the new 'Roman Mysteries' TV series
- Exploring Tunisia: travelogue in North Africa
Thanks and best wishes
Lorna.
