09W, 10W: 11 Which ancient faces and personalities come alive for us when we look back at Greek and Roman antiquity? How were the Greeks and Romans like us, and how different? How and why does their world—and what we have inherited from their world—intrigue, repel, awe, amuse, or disturb us, and how much is that to do with our own preoccupations? Taking as its starting point the interface between Classical antiquity and the twenty-first century, this course explores a selection of topics that will introduce you to the different areas and disciplines that make up Classics in the new millennium. Open to all classes . Dist: LIT or INT; WCult: CI . Christesen. 2. The Tragedy and Comedy of Greece and Rome
Score: 9.820555 Details | Listing | Web page
09W: 11 An introduction to philosophical thought in antiquity, especially that of Socrates, Epicurus, and the Stoics. We will concentrate especially on ethical questions; e.g. what kind of life is best for humans to pursue, how thoughtful persons should weigh the potentially competing claims of reason, pleasure, and emotion—and on how intellectual activity was perceived at Athens and at Rome. Readings to include Aristophanes’ Clouds , Plato’s Apology and Meno, and selected writings of Epicurus, Lucretius, Cicero, Seneca, and Epictetus. Open to all classes. Dist: TMV; WCult: W . Graver. 4. Classical Mythology
Score: 9.820555 Details | Listing | Web page
08F, 09F: 2 Why does epic poetry repeatedly depict heroes fighting against the gods? Whether Diomedes’ rout of Aphrodite, Achilles’ struggle against the river Xanthus, Capaneus’ testing of the gods, or Hannibal’s threat to Jupiter, classical literature has frequently taken theomachy (“god-fight”) to be a central theme—a preoccupation continued in Christian epic of the Renaissance and seen even today in the bestselling novels of Philip Pullman. Concentrating on theomachic scenes in selected readings in translation, we will grapple with issues as varied as human free will, the nature of divinity, the complexities of martial force, the fragility of political legitimacy, and the power and limitations of artistic expression. By the end of the class students will have gained a new perspective on some of the central works in the Western canon. Open to all classes. Dist: LIT; WCult: W. Chaudhuri. 6.

09S: 12, 2A 10W: 10 In 09S at 12, Slaves, Wives, and Concubines: Did Roman Women Have a History? (Identical to and described under Women’s and Gender Studies 21.1). Open to all classes. Dist: LIT; WCult: W. Stewart. In 09S at 2A, Sex, Celibacy and the Problem of Purity: Asceticism and the Human Body in Late Antiquity (Identical to Religion 31 and Women’s and Gender Studies 43.2). This course examines a crucial period in the history of Christianity—Late Antiquity. Between the years 300 and 500, Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire, established standards of doctrine and ecclesiastical organization, and developed the attitudes towards the body, sexuality and gender, which informed Christian teaching for centuries to come. In this class we will ask: why did virginity become such an important aspect of Christian religiosity? What effect did Roman concepts of gender and sexuality have on Christian understanding of the relationship between men and women? What did martyrs, gladiators and monks have in common. Open to all students. Dist: TMV; WCult: W . MacEvitt. 14. Greek History: Archaic and Classical Greece
