| CLA211 Rhetoric: Classical Theory, Modern Practice |
| Stylish, seductive, surreptitious, and scorned, the ubiquitous art of persuasion will be the focus of this course. We will first approach rhetoric through the classical tradition, learning to recognize basic figures of speech and thought with an eye towards identifying what is persuasive and why. We will then consider how rhetoric continues to thrive, despite abundant moral and philosophical attacks, in public self-presentation, whether of household products, of politicians or, institutions such as Princeton. |

| CLA235/HLS235 Antiquity After Antiquity: Homer |
| This course looks at how Homer has been approached across the centuries, from his reception in Athens, in Rome, and in late antiquity, until new attention to Greek brought back old questions about Homer in new ways in the modern period. These include questions about Homer the person (one or many, he or she), the writer (written vs. oral), and the historian. Other themes are archaeology; afterlife in visual arts; translating Homer; Homer for the late twentieth century: and the current state of Homer in America (from the movie "Troy" to the claim that Homer, in the universities, has been killed). |

| CLA335/HLS335 Studies in the Classical Tradition: Ancient Satirists and the Satiric Imagination |
| Readings in the ancient Greek and Roman satirists, from Aristophanes to Juvenal, and their medieval and modern reception. We shall study the nature, context, and origins of classical satire and compare the adaptation, imitation, translation, and parody of classical models in writers such as Walter of Châtillon, Chaucer, John Marston ("Scourge of Villanie"), Dryden, Pope, Samuel Johnson ("London"), and F. Scott Fitzgerald ("The Great Gatsby"). Some attention will also be given to theories of satire from antiquity to the present. |
