Parnassus: Classical Journal
Parnassus is an undergraduate journal related to the study of the ancient world. Published by the College of the Holy Cross in conjunction with the Classics Department, the mission of Parnassus is to share the passion of Holy Cross students from all majors for the ancient world. All pieces aim to be generally understandable, allowing the field to be more accessible to non-specialists in the community.
