Students who complete this course and then take CLG 105 in the fall will be able to complete the usual three semesters' sequence in two and can fulfill the language requirement by taking only one additional course, typically CLG 108. This course aims at providing a reading knowledge of Classical Greek, quickly. |

CLG310 Greek Authors:
Hesiod and the Homeric Hymns |
|
Hesiod (Theogony; Works and Days) and the Homeric Hymns together represent canonical Greek views about the birth of the gods, the ordering of the universe, hierarchies of divine power, relations between gods and mortals, and the early history of humankind. Studying these texts from literary, mythic, ritual, philosophical, political, and anthropological perspectives, we will situate them within the cultural milieu of the archaic period and gauge their influence in later periods as founding the genres of theogonic, didactic, and hymnic forms. Selections from Hesiod and emphasis on the four major hymns (Aphrodite, Demeter, Apollo, Hermes). |
