Dr Mateusz Stróżyński, the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, director of the Institute of Classical Philology of the Poznań university, has become one of the founders of the new English-language online magazine “Antigone”. 

The project was created by a group of classical philologists from Great Britain, the United States, New Zealand and Poland. The journal is addressed to young people and non-specialists. Its aim is to popularize ancient culture and research on it. The first 6 articles caused a wide response in the Anglo-Saxon world.

The journal has been mentioned in The Times and in an article of the Times Literary Supplement by the popular classical philologist, Prof. Mary Beard. The authors of the first articles include such world-famous figures as Stephen Fry (an award-winning British actor and author of books popularizing ancient culture) and Tom Holland (an outstanding historian and author of bestsellers combining a scientific workshop with a hypnotic narrative).
