This course introduces the student to the mythology of the classical world. We will examine the major myths about the gods, the origins and nature of the universe, and the heroic past, as they developed in the Greek world and as they were adapted in the Roman world. We will consider the nature and function of myth in society, some theoretical approaches to myth, and the way in which myths were adapted by Greek and Roman authors to fit a particular literary or historical context.

Since antiquity, epic has been considered the highest genre, the one suited to stories that define the achievements and aspirations of an entire people. The major epic works, moreover, have exerted a powerful influence on literature throughout the world. Our goal in this class will be to bridge the "absolute epic distance" that Russian philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin believed distinguished the genre and conduct an intensive study of the best-known Greek and Roman epics. Close readings of the Iliad, the Odyssey, and the Aeneid will be supplemented by critical texts that examine the tremendous social and civic import of epic in antiquity and the broader cultural contexts in which the genre flourished. The significance of the epic singer, the distinction between oral and written compositional techniques, and notions of gender, class, and empire in the ancient world will be topics of investigation that inform our reading of the epic texts.

This course examines the physical remains of ancient Roman civilization, with an emphasis on architecture, sculpture, painting, and other visual arts, in order to understand Roman culture and society. Covering a span of time from the ninth century BC through the fifth century AD, we will first look at the Etruscan background to Roman civilization; we will then trace the development of art and architecture in the city of Rome, with a particular emphasis on the monuments in the city during the period in which Rome was the capital of a vast empire. Along the way, we will also examine evidence from other sites around the Roman Empire, such as Ostia, Pompeii, and Constantinople.
