CLAS 340 - Roman Epic

Institution:
Gonzaga University
Subject:
CLASSICS
Description:
This course explores (in translation) two of Romes great contributions to world literature: Vergils Aeneid and one other epic. The choice of second epic will alternate between Ovids Metamorphoses and Lucans Civil War. All three of these works are at the core of the western tradition. They have been read and reinterpreted for millennia and continue to find resonance today. Students will demonstrate an ability to read and analyze these poems closely, to appreciate them, and to unlock their timeless beauty, depth and significance. Special attention will be paid to applying the themes of these works to students own lives and studies.
