As democracy evolved in Ancient Athens, the ability to speak for one's self before the assembled populace became the distinguishing mark and crucial skill of the free citizen. The Greeks then developed a theoretical framework and an educational curriculum for eloquence which was preserved by the Romans, passed into the Middle Ages and formed the basis for the traditional liberal arts. To study both the ancient theory and practice of eloquence, students will read speeches of Demosthenes and Cicero as well as historical and theoretical works about rhetoric and education. Students themselves will put these theories into practice in a series of speeches and presentations. Prerequisites: ENGL 111-112, 123, 180 or 185. Same as CLAS 204. Speaking-intensive. Offered alternate years. Three hours. Mr. McCaffrey.

This course will study the many ways in which both classical and modern authors have treated the theme of the journey. Epic poets, like Homer and Virgil, described their heroes' journeys for very special purposes. Writers of satire, like Horace and Petronius, had different artistic purposes. Modern writers like Nikos Kazantzakis and Henry Miller have followed in the footsteps of the ancient and written reflections on their experiences in the ancient lands. This course will usually be taught in conjunction with a trip to lands once known to Greeks and Romans. The particular readings, especially the modern ones, will be chosen to connect with the itinerary of the course. Students will read, analyze and discuss both the ancient and the modern works. In their journals, students will connect the reading with the sites visited and will themselves practice different forms of travel writing. Same as CLAS 206. Offered alternate years. Three hours. Mr. McCaffrey.
