| CLA521 – Problems in Greek History: Greek Epigraphy |
| Greek inscriptions provide especially valuable information on the political life, institutions and social structures of Greek society.

| CLA529/HLS529 - Topics in the Hellenic Tradition: The Case of the Homeric Scholarship |
| The course seeks to use Homeric scholarship as a paradigm of the Hellenic tradition and the interlacing of classical scholarship with other discourses. Topics will include the issue of continuity and comparison, the recurring topic of translation and translatability, Homeric archaeology and anthropology, the new Troy debate, etc. A chance to read some of the staples of Homeric scholarship with a view to their situaedness within the changing logic and language of the discipline. Since the evaluation of Greece as a normative culture of antiquity is at issue in much Homeric scholarship, Latinists are particularly encouraged to participate. |
