It all started with an enthusiastic Latin teacher at her London school. One thing led to another. Cambridge. Ancient Greek. More than a decade as a lawyer. Teacher. Private tutor. Four books. And now, she's joining us for Overboard.

Caroline K. Mackenzie read Classics at Cambridge and practised as a Private Client solicitor in London for over a decade. A career in teaching followed, first as a lecturer at a London law school and then as Head of Classics at a school in Sevenoaks. Founder of Classics Club, an online reading group for all ages and backgrounds, Caroline also teaches Greek and Latin to students aged 8-88 across the UK and the US. Caroline’s publications include Pocket GCSE Greek Etymological Lexicon (Bloomsbury, 2026) Pocket GCSE Latin Etymological Lexicon (Bloomsbury, 2022) and Culture and Society at Lullingstone Roman Villa (Archaeopress, 2019).

On 1 October, Caroline will make her case. You decide whether her character stays afloat or gets tossed from the boat.

Join us at Linklaters, London for an evening of witty arguments, an audience vote and one very soggy classical figure.
