08F, 09F: 2 Why does epic poetry repeatedly depict heroes fighting against the gods Whether Diomedes' rout of Aphrodite, Achilles' struggle against the river Xanthus, Capaneus' testing of the gods, or Hannibal's threat to Jupiter, classical literature has frequently taken theomachy ("god-fight") to be a central theme-a preoccupation continued in Christian epic of the Renaissance and seen even today in the bestselling novels of Philip Pullman. Concentrating on theomachic scenes in selected readings in translation, we will grapple with issues as varied as human free will, the nature of divinity, the complexities of martial force, the fragility of political legitimacy, and the power and limitations of artistic expression. By the end of the class students will have gained a new perspective on some of the central works in the Western cOpen to all classes. Dist: LIT; WCult: W. Chaudhuri.

08F, 09F: 10 The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the basic methods and principles of Classical archaeology through a survey of the principal types of sites and artifacts characteristic of Greco-Roman antiquity. Students will gain a good overview of the approaches useful in the interpretation of a wide variety of material evidence as well as of problems inherent in such evidence. At the same time, through the study of a number of major sites in roughly chronological sequence, students will acquire an appreciation of the development of material culture in the Mediterranean world from prehistory to the collapse of the Roman Empire. The course thus serves both as an introduction to Greek and Roman civilization and to the particular goals of the discipline of archaeology. Open to all classes. Dist: INT or ART; WCult: W. Faro.
