Get free access to Hillsdale’s video series on classical Greece and Rome and learn about ancient history, philosophy, politics, culture, and foreign policy.  

You don’t need to be a scholar to explore the ancient world—just curiosity and a few minutes of free time.

Hillsdale College invites you to enjoy a free, on-demand video series on classical Greece and Rome. It’s designed to be both educational and easy to use—whether you’re at home, on the go, or simply want to learn something new at your own pace.

The ancient world shaped the foundations of liberty and government. America’s Founders looked to thinkers like Cicero and Plato for inspiration—what they called their “lamp of experience.”

Yet today, this tradition has nearly vanished from college curricula. Instead of serious study, many courses push narrow ideological narratives and ignore the rich insights of the classical world.

That’s why Hillsdale has produced this six-part video series—filmed live at a conference on classical Greece and Rome—to make these great ideas available to anyone, anytime.

You’ll gain a clear and engaging introduction to:

• How Athenian democracy shaped the ancient world
• The Roman Republic and its influence on America’s Founding   
• Cicero’s political wisdom and his Stoic roots
• Socrates as portrayed by Xenophon
• Virgil’s Aeneid and its enduring message
• Why Homer remains essential to Western civilization

Each video is short, easy to follow, and available on-demand—no textbooks, no prerequisites, no cost.
