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).
Professor Froma I. Zeitlin
Seminar:  11:00am - 12:20pm MW - East Pyne 127
