We live in a time when Classics is barely taught in schools, and is decried as elitist. But we are depriving generations of people of what Classicists have known all along - that much of our politics, our legal systems, our beliefs, our culture, our very language are derived from the ancient Greeks and Romans.
If we want to be truly happy in the now, we could do much worse than looking to the past for advice, inspiration and the occasional jaw-dropping story.
