Aaron Suiter, Class of 2015

Major: Classical Languages, Math, Chemistry, Philosophy (Undecided)

Career interests: Adventurer, Vintner, Chef, Landscape Architect 

Favorite ancient text: Homer's Odyssey (trite, I know)

Favorite ancient author: Cicero. Who is more sophisticated in their language? 

Favorite ancient ritual: Eleusinian Mysteries (the name says it all)

Favorite modern-day salute to antiquity: I like that gladiator sandals/heels have trended these past few years. I'd like to see more classically inspired fashion (e.g. mini-capes and floppy hats for men)

Favorite thing about the Carleton Classics Department: We have great professors, we read the best literature ever, and sometimes taking classics makes me feel like a 19th century aristocrat.

Favorite Classics class: I loved Latin Prose with Kathryn Steed. The people in the class were hilarious, the text, Cicero's Pro Caelio, was exceptional, and Kathryn made it so fun to learn.
