Over 60 percent of English words derive from Greek or Latin, and in fields such as science and technology, over 90 percent. This course is designed to increase English vocabulary by focusing on the Latin and Greek roots of the English language. Our word study will be organized by language, where students will spend the first week studying the English derivatives and cognates of Latin words and then the second week studying derivatives from Greek. Class activities will involve identifying and analyzing vocabulary in context and are engineered to hone students’ recognition and critical thinking abilities.

In this course, we will encounter and explore the classical myths as the ancient Greeks (and Romans) themselves encountered and engaged them: through the acclaimed masterworks of their culture’s literature (primarily), architecture, and art. Handbooks of mythology, such as the so-called Bibliotheke (“Library”) attributed to Apollodorus, were a relatively late phenomenon and were neither a natural nor common (nor, in most instances, an appealing) source of myths for the ancients themselves. Rather, it was through the vivid presentations of mythological events in epic, lyric, and dramatic poetry that the characters and stories truly came to life – characters and stories that continue to play a vital role in the literature and art of the Western tradition to this day. Alongside the literature, artistic renderings through painting and sculpture, and especially the elaborate programs of decoration created to enhance the great temples of the gods, such as those for Zeus at Olympia and, more famously, for Athena Parthenos at Athens (the “Parthenon”), took as their subjects both myths centering around the patron gods and myths of special significance to the city-states themselves.

The Romans are often remembered for their military strength and bloody gladiatorial spectacles. This course examines another side of one of the greatest societies of the Western World from the point of view of their cultural accomplishments. We will learn about their society through their own words, seeing Roman culture through their own eyes. With authors like Virgil, Cicero, Ovid, Seneca and others as our guides, we will gain first hand a comprehensive introduction to many aspects of Roman culture with special focus on Roman mythology, religion, history, politics, daily life, and also their art and architecture. Our aim will be to understand the Romans on their own terms while also exploring why it is that modern societies—especially our own—constantly strive to represent themselves in Roman terms.
