  • G+R CL 3396: Classical Epic

    3.00 Credits

Through close reading of these poems and some other examples of epic literature we will consider various topics, including the relationship between myth and history, the role of the hero and the status of women, oral vs. literary epic, and cultural context and broader cultural function of epic in the society in which it is produced and consumed. We will seek to define epic, and to develop an understanding of the constituent facets of the genre.

  • G+R CL 3796: Ancient City: Augustan Rome

    3.00 Credits
    Temple University

    Upon achieving mastery of the Roman world through key military victories, Octavian ostensibly returned control of the restored Republic to the Senate and People of Rome in exchange for the quasi-religious, honorific title Augustus (worthy of honor). But he retained command of Rome’s armies and transformed himself into the first true emperor of a vast territory that encompassed the entire Mediterranean basin. To legitimate and raise popular support for his rule, he instituted a massive building and beautification program in Rome, promoted the literary arts, and instituted legal and religious reforms, all of which ushered in Rome’s Golden Age. In this course we will study--and interact with—the influential history, physical structures, ideals, social institutions and arts of Augustan Rome.
