Greek Handwriting Competition Winners

At the end of the Autumn term, the boys in 8SEW, 7ADL and 7ACM took part in a Greek Handwriting Competition. They copied out three and a half lines of poetry, ‘The Battle Cry of the Greeks at Salamis’ from Persae by Aeschylus.  25 boys entered the competition and it was adjudicated by Mr Jim Macartney of the Eton Classics Department, who is also housemaster of Angelo’s (JDM). He was very complimentary about the high standard of the entries, and the top five were particularly accurate and consistent. He has commented, in Greek, on each entry of the top five. There will be a display of all the entries in the New Year.  Well done to all the boys.
