Mount Holyoke College

Subject:

Description:

(Same as Classics 211) Many ancient images tell completely different versions of myth from those portrayed in Greek and Roman literary sources. By juxtaposing distinctive modes of communication in the ancient world, students will analyze the rhetorical uses of myth, both then and now. Students will also examine the range of possibilities for translating and interpreting text and image, which will alert them to the vitality of myth as a language of its own, transcending historical parameters.
