| CLASSIC 160 | MEDEA THRU THE AGES | GIANNOPOULOU, Z. | This course on re-imagining the classics will explore how and why the classics have been retold, reformed, invoked, reinterpreted, and received from antiquity to the present day. We will use the mythological figure of Medea as our case study. Beginning with some theoretical orientation and reading Euripides’ Medea, we will survey the various literary versions of the myth in Roman literature. In the latter part of the course, we will turn to Medea’s place in modern and contemporary literature, theater, and film. While discussing the various reinterpretations and reinventions of Medea, we will remain mindful of issues of intertextuality. How for instance, do later versions of the myth engage with and prefigure earlier works? How might contemporary media reflect upon and suggest new meanings for their classical source texts? The methods and approaches used in this course should provide a model with which to approach other mythological, literary, aesthetic, and philosophical topics in classics and beyond. |
