A father-killer marrying his mother, a sex-strike to end war, a wife killing her children to punish a husband's infidelity ù such is the stuff of ancient Greek drama. Yet its thought and language have long captivated audiences and readers. What, then, makes it tick? To find out, students will explore Greek drama as a window into Greek culture and a mirror that Greeks held up to themselves. In the process, students will investigate such topics as the dynamics of ancient performance and reception, staging (ancient and modern), theory and interpretation (ancient and modern). For majors and non-majors.

Peitho is the Greek word for persuasion, the influencing of future action and thought. Yet peitho, as object of cult, a figure of myth and an essential element in love, marriage, and commerce, meant more to Greeks than simply words designed to change minds. Nor did it always operate through a verbal medium. Persuasion was in fact a central, if ambiguously valorized, feature of ancient Greek culture, and the study of it in context will open a window into the cultural-ideological landscape within which ancient Greeks conceptualized their politics, society and much else as well. Readings and lectures progress chronologically and move from general considerations to a more narrow focus on the emergence of democracy at Athens. Students study and discuss primary sources in translation (drama, philosophy, etc.), artistic and archaeological evidence and modern theory.
