We will be considering the various ways modern cinema and television have treated ancient Greek myths. We will view, discuss, and write about examples from Hollywood feature films, foreign art films, the Âsword and sandal genre, and animation. Our focus will be on these films as artistic responses to specific ancient treatments of the myths, primarily literary versions, but we may consider some ancient visual treatments to compare with the modern ones. We will, however, also pay some attention to how these films reflect not only modern conceptions of and stereotypes about the ancient world but also the historical and cultural contexts in which they were produced.

CLAS-C 351 The Golden Age of Athens Section 27477, 27479 (Honors section) / Christ Note: This is a Themester Course. Both sections Intensive Writing. In the fifth century B.C., Athenians witnessed enormous political and social changes, with the emergence of democracy in their city and its establishment of a naval empire. Contemporary Athenian writers frequently reflected not only on these dramatic historic changes, but also on the nature of change in human societies over time and the relation of this to man's fundamental human nature. Intellectuals, know as "sophists," theorized that human society had evolved over time from primitive beginnings by generating laws and norms (nomoi) to restrain the excesses of human nature (phusis). This conceptualization of change and progress in human societies had a profound effect on how Athenians viewed themselves and their city in a time of enormous change. Through the tragedies of Sophocles and Euripides, the comedies of Aristophanes, and the historical writing of Thucydides, we will look at how Athenians developed paradigms of change and evolution to make sense of their tumultuous times.
