Prerequisite: First-year standing Topic for Fall 2010:
CLAS 180: FS: Love and Grief in Ancient Greece and Rome (3). First-year seminar. This seminar is designed as an introduction to the field of classics via a problem of general interest: how do we recognize, examine, describe, express, or otherwise deal with the related emotions of love and grief. We can gain insight into our own ways of dealing with love and grief by the examination of the approaches taken in other cultures–in this case, the cultures of ancient Greece and Rome. We approach the subject through a variety of media, both literary and material. The course is divided into segments, each focusing on a particular kind of source for the study of classics. (HL) D. Carlisle.

Prerequisite: Completion of FW FDR requirement.

Readings from the poets predominate (Virgil’s Aeneid and Ovid’s Metamorphosis, selections from Horace, Propertius, Tibullus and other poems of Ovid) and also including readings from ancient historians dealing with Augustus and the major events of his period (e.g., Suetonius, Plutarch, and Tacitus on such topics as Actium and problems of succession). The topic for each lecture is illustrated with slides of works of art and architecture from the period. Selections from historians and from material remains are chosen according to intersection points with the literature. Carlisle.

In this course, we read some of the most famous stories of the Western world, from the Iliad and the Odyssey, to Milton’s Paradise Lost and Joyce’s Ulysses, via Vergil’s Aeneid and Lucan’s Civil War. All of these works are epic narratives, each presenting a different concept of the hero, and yet, at the same time, participating in a coherent, ongoing, and unfinished tradition. Questions explored include: the problematic nature of the hero, the relation between poetry and violence, the nature of literary tradition. Crotty.
