This course will examine the representation of gender and sexuality in ancient Greece and Rome. We shall consider the lives of both men and women and how concepts of masculinity and femininity shaped Greek and Roman mythology, literature, artwork, and daily life. We will investigate a wide range of texts, including tragedy, comedy, poetry, philosophy, legal documents, and medical treatises, as well as material culture (e.g. classical sculpture and architecture, images on pots, and wall paintings). Throughout this course, we will focus on how gender figures as a central motif in ancient Greece and Rome, and gain, it is hoped, a complete understanding of the roles that gender and sexuality play in our own society.
