summary:
There is currently high demand for creative reworkings of the classical world, from books to television series to video games. This article asks how creativity might sit together with the academic discipline of Classics and explores examples of the work being done across the boundaries of academia and creative practice by classicists and practitioners. Several ways in which creativity and Classics can be mutually productive and beneficial across all stages of an academic career and different areas of the discipline are put forward, from collaborative research to outreach and engagement to innovative teaching.
