Special emphasis will be placed on the boundaries set by class, race, and gender in both ancient and modern sports cultures. CL 222, HY 209,WS 206. Greek and Roman Myth into Movies. The Greeks gave us the myths that have launched a thousand movies. From the Cocteau classic La Belle et La Bete, to Mark Waters' quirky independent, The House of Yes, the movies have mined ancient myth for material. Sometimes consciously, and sometimes not, filmmakers rework the abiding questions, putting on them their own imprint which locates them in time and place. The movies have come to reflect our zeitgeist in many of the same ways myth does. In this class we will read Homer's Odyssey, Cupid and Psyche, and selected other myths to see how characters and themes are developed through time and from artist to artist. Additional movies may include The Searchers, The Ususal Suspects, The Graduate, Deer Hunter, and Lone Star. CL 222, FS 205, CO 200. Block 5: Topics: Freedom and Empire-- The Drama of Ancient Politics.
