Welcome to Pegasus

Pegasus is the Journal of the Department of Classics, Ancient History, Religion and Theology at the University of Exeter.

Pegasus was established in 1964 as a journal for Classics and Ancient History, and over time alongside departmental shifts, it has come to include the Religion and Theology department. The journal has always been run by a board of PhD Candidates, and Katherine Petrasek and Francesca Kübler are our current Editors in Chief.

Pegasus publishes original research and reviews of scholarship on all aspects of the ancient world, including literature, ancient history, philosophy, Classical reception, art and material culture. It also provides a publishing outlet for creative works, including poetry and artwork, as well as publishing updates from the Classics, Ancient History, Religion and Theology Department at Exeter.

For a long time, the journal was published on an annual basis, however following the COVID-19 pandemic, we were unfortunately forced to take a hiatus. But it is with the greatest pleasure that we announce Pegasus issue 63 will be published in September 2026!

Pegasus is primarily a print journal, but past editions can always be found here. The current edition of Pegasus will be made available online when the next issue is released.

For alumni and former staff members, Pegasus is a great way of staying in touch with the Department and keeping up with departmental news.
