On Thursday, 20th December the second and third years partook in a Classical Studies competition on Homer’s Iliad. Team Polytropus consisting of Svetlana, Emer and Rory in third year won. This was the first year that a third year team has won the event. It was a tight competition; the difference was only a point between the Harpies, another third year team.
