...addition, the classics department sustains no inquiry into the Egyptian and Ethiopian influences on the ancient world, though these influences were repeatedly recognized by authors such as Herodotus and Thucydides. In the Foreign Cultures section of the Core, over ten courses deal with Europe, while there are none on Africa. Of course, this critique can be extended to several other departments.
