  • G+R CL 2902: Honors Gender in Classical Antiquity

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    What can we learn about the lives of ancient Greek and Roman women from ancient literature - literature written primarily by men? Can we piece together the everyday lives of Greek or Roman women of any social class? Even if we believe in the equality of the sexes, would a word like “equality” have had any meaning to the ancients? In this class, we will find answers to these questions by reading Greek and Latin sources in translation as well as the works of modern Classicists. While focusing on women’s lives, we will gain a greater understanding of what was expected of both genders in the ancient world.

    Temple University

    This course will examine some of the great works of Roman historians, poets and novelists with a view to understanding the Romans’ beliefs about themselves and their world. The class will investigate the origins of the Roman people through the eyes of the historian Livy as well as the great epicist Virgil, who standardized the foundation myth of the Romans in his Aeneid. Comparing the works of Cicero and Catullus will introduce life during the last days of the Republic, while the poetry and real-life tragic end of the brilliant career of the Augustan poet Ovid will raise questions about the glory of the dawning Empire. Suetonius’ gossipy record of the lives of the first twelve emperors, and Petronius’ zany “novel,” the Satyricon, are fascinating guides to Rome in the 1st century.
