Expanded Course Description
This course provides an introduction to the rich and complex world of Greek and Roman mythology. These myths and legends, which were the focus of traditional education, provide a unique insight into personal and corporate identity in the ancient world. We shall be studying the myths through primary sources exclusively, literary and visual, and observing their power to negotiate social differences and tensions.
This course satisfies the Arts and Letters group requirement because mythology was the traditional way in which the ancients communicated and reinforced their values, concerns, and fears both as individuals and in groups. This course studies the ways in which myths are reused and reshaped to adapt them to new realities and new experiences. This body of lore has been a fundamental part of the Western inheritance from the ancient world and remains a basic part of our cultural knowledge today.
This course satisfies the Identity, Pluralism, and Tolerance multicultural requirement because it focuses on themes already inherent in the material, themes of the place of human beings in their varying identities, and especially sexual, social, theological, and metaphysical dimensions of male and female, Greek/Roman and "barbarian."
