This course aims to familiarize students with important Greek mythological stories and figures as represented in Greek literature and art.

CLAS 116 Ancient Drama: Truth in Performance 6 credits
The tragic and comic stage offered the Greeks and Romans a public arena for addressing such fundamental topics as love, family, justice, and the divine. Although the written word has fortunately preserved many ancient plays, the proper vehicles for their communication remain, as their authors intended, the stage, the voice, and the body. This course will therefore address a variety of ancient tragedies and comedies with special attention, not only to their themes, but to the manner of their performance, culminating in student-driven, adaptive productions that put into practice skills and expertise developed in the class.

CLAS 117 From Stage to Screen: Adapting Greek Tragedy 6 credits
The terms “reboot,” “retelling,” and “adaptation” are all over TV and film. While some adaptations are praised for their creativity with the source material, others are panned. So what makes an adaptation good or bad? In this class, we will approach this question through Greek tragedy. We will read plays such as Oedipus Tyrannus, Antigone, Medea, and the Oresteia in translation alongside films from around the world in order to understand how directors and writers relate these ancient works to their own settings and struggles, decade after decade.

CLAS 132 Fantasy and Science Fiction Then and Now 6 credits
When did science-fiction first appear in literature? The beginnings of modern fantasy and science-fiction are set around the 19th and 17th century respectively. However, fantasy and science-fiction stories and themes are already present in the Greco-Roman world. In this course, we will focus on one of the first fantasy and science-fiction works, Lucian’s True History, to trace the development of these genres in literature and cinema. Examining True History in parallel with works from Homer, Plato, Aristophanes, and Virgil as well as contemporary films, we will explore the influence of classical literature on the genres of fantasy and science-fiction.

CLAS 175 Writing the City of Rome: Image, Text, and Site 6 credits
Ancient Rome has occupied a unique place in the Western consciousness for over 2000 years. It is a city that has inspired many texts, and both its physical fabric and symbolic nature have been reworked and rethought by archaeologists, historians, and literary critics alike. For the ancients, ‘Rome’ took on meaning not just from its concrete monuments, but also from the literary motifs and symbols it evoked. In this class, we will consider how Rome is used as both a setting and inspiration for Latin poetry, and consider how poets both represented and created an image of ‘Rome’.
