This course is the Classics Departmental Seminar in the SAGES sequence, though it can also be taken for regular credit in Classics or History. The seminar on Alexander the Great is normally taken in the Spring semester of junior year, and offers students a firm grounding in the diverse materials, methods, and approaches that can be brought to bear on the study of Greco-Roman antiquity and of its legacy up to today. Alexander's career is urgently relevant today for two primary reasons: the establishment of new forms of interaction between European/"western" and Asian/"eastern" civilizations; and the idea of global domination, wedding Greek and Asian as well as African (Egyptian) conceptions of rule and governance. Beyond the exploration of the ancient world of, or shaped by, Alexander, we will focus also on the reception of the historical figure, i.e., on the sometimes fantastic image of Alexander diffused in later epochs (Islamic, medieval) as well as on the more critical but often ideologically slanted early modern approach. Because of the expansion of the scope of the seminar (as of Alexander himself) beyond Europe and the critical examination of the traditional separation of East and West--or the three continents (Europe, Africa, and Asia) distinguished in antiquity--this course qualifies as a Global and Cultural Diversity course. Offered as CLSC 320 and HSTY 320.

Particular attention is also paid to the experience of women and African Americans.
