• CLAS 100 Greek Myth in Antiquity and Today 6 credits

  Entertaining, horrifying, thought-provoking – Greek myths have exercised a powerful fascination continuously from the ancient world to our own times. Recent years have seen a proliferation of modern re-tellings and adaptations of these stories: novels, television series, film, music, theater, video games, and more. This class will focus on a selection of these modern works along with some of the ancient material they are based on. We will explore what functions myth may have fulfilled for people in ancient Greek culture, as well as what meanings they can hold for us.

• CLAS 386 Classical Myth: Theory, Function, Afterlife 6 credits

  Stories of gods, heroes and monsters were a pervasive part of life in ancient Greece and Rome, integrated into landscape, the built environment and cultural practice from ritual worship to informal storytelling, and they have retained their power to fascinate through subsequent eras. This seminar will investigate the roles myth played in the ancient world, drawing on literary, historical and archaeological evidence, as well as the most prominent theoretical frameworks for interpreting myths, and some examples of modern adaptations. Topics in the second half of the course will be driven by student interests as they develop their own research and present it at the department Symposium.
