CLASSICAL - COURSES NOT REQUIRING THE USE OF GREEK OR LATIN
| CLA214 The Other Side of Rome |
| An introduction to Roman culture designed to complicate the traditional image of Rome as a static, rigidly conservative society, the course will explore how the Romans used such issues as gender and sexuality, conspicuous consumption, and slavery to define the place of their civilization within the natural order. Authors like Petronius, Lucan, and Tacitus will focus our attention on the social complexities of imperial Rome. We end with a look at contemporary representations of Rome to ask what role stereotypes of ancient Rome have come to play in 20th century America. |

| CLA335/HLS335/AAS333 Studies in the Classical Tradition: From Athens to Harlem: Texts and Writing |
| This is a course about the complex inspiration African-American writers took from texts of classical antiquity, and the challenges they faced to make them their own. We will read and put into dialogue ancient Greek and Roman works and modern responses, ranging from the 18th to the 21st century. Themes include Odyssean wandering, Iliadic rage, satire, patronage, rhetoric, literacy, liberation, pedagogy, praise poetry, myth, and the canon. The aim is to gain new appreciation of both sets of texts, and to articulate what happens at their points of intersection in modern American culture. |
