Every other spring. Spring 2008. IRENE POLINSKAYA. Surveys the history of Greek-speaking peoples from the Bronze Age (c. 3000-1100 B.C.E.) to the death of Alexander the Great in 323 B.C.E. Traces the political, economic, social, religious, and cultural developments of the Greeks in the broader context of the Mediterranean world. Topics include the institution of the polis (city-state); hoplite warfare; Greek colonization; the origins of Greek "science," philosophy, and rhetoric; and fifth-century Atheniandemocracy and imperialism. Necessarily focuses on Athens and Sparta, but attention is also given to the variety of social and political structures found in different Greek communities. Special attention is given to examining and attempting to understand the distinctively Greek outlook in regard to gender, the relationship between human and divine, freedom, and the divisions between Greeks and barbarians (non-Greeks). A variety of sources-literary, epigraphical, archaeological-are presented, and students learn how to use them as historical documents. (Same as History 201.)

Fall 2006. BARBARA WEIDEN BOYD. "Transformations" is both a translation of the title of Ovid's greatest work, the Metamorphoseswhose theme is mythical transformation, and a term that can be aptly applied as well to the life and work of Ovid, whose wildly successful social and literary career was radically transformed in 8 A.D. by Augustus's decree of exile, from which Ovid was never to return. The word "transformations" also captures the essence of Ovid's literary afterlife, during which hiwork has taken on new incarnations in the creative responses of novelists, poets, dramatists, artists, and composers. Begins with an overview of Ovid's poetry, culminating in a careful reading and discussion of the formal elements and central themes of the Metamorphoses. The remainder of the semester is devoted to Ovid's afterlife, with special attention paid to his intertextual presence in the works of Shakespeare, Franz Kafka, Joseph Brodsky, Ted Hughes, Cristoph Ransmayr, Antonio Tabucchi, David Malouf, and Mary Zimmerman. All readings in English.

Fall 2006. IRENE POLINSKAYA. Research seminar. Focuses on the history of ancient Greek tyranny, as a form of government and as an ideological concept. Studies the fragmented and largely legendary accounts of the rule of tyrants in the Archaic period; the construction and use of the image of a tyrant in the Classical period; and the re-emergence of tyranny as a fact of social reality in the fourth century B.C. in the Greek colonies of Sicily. Covers Greek tyranny as a form of political organization against the background of other contemporary forms of government, such as democracy and oligarchy; the Classical image of tyranny as a negative form of monarchy in contrast to kingship (rule of basileis); the paradoxical role of tyrants as patrons of the arts and friends of philosophers. Draws primarily on literary and historical sources of evidence, but also considers the visual arts and archaeology. Prerequisite: Any course in ancient Greek history, archaeology, or civilization; or any course in the Greek language; or permission of the instructor

Every semester. THE DEPARTMENT. Solving complex algorithmic problems requires the use of appropriate data structures such as stacks, priority queues, search trees, dictionaries, hash tables, and graphs. It also requires the ability to measure the efficiency of operations such as sorting and searching in order to make effective choices among alternative solutions. This course is a study of data structures, their efficiency, and their use in solving computational problems. Laboratory exercises provide an opportunity to design and implement these structures. Prerequisite: Computer Science 101 or 107 or permission of the instructor.
