On March 11th of his year, the eleventh annual of our revived Pythian Games was held in the Scotiabank Auditorium, in a triumphant return to holding the Games in person. We had a wonderful variety of acts, and attendance was so substantial that we reached the room's reduced capacity. These were the well-deserved victors:

• Atherton Prize: Dr. Mitchell's Advance Latin Class (Nigel Burns, Brendan Kay, Sam MacDonald, Matthew Nolan, Emma Oliver and Nerissa Zhang), An Abridged Life of Claudius
• Alumni Prize: Hasan Alfarhan Imru' al-Qays,聽The Wandering King of Pre-Islamic Arabia declaims his Golden Ode on Love
• Chair's Prize: Joanna Daley and Elsy Rytter, Demonstration of the Costume of a Roman Bride
• Howard Murray Prize: Em Arruda, Hymn to the Sun and Muses
• King and Queen's Prize: Angus Wilson, A Reading from the Old English Aeneid

We've also included some photos from the event below:
