| CLASSIC 36C | 4TH C/HELLEN GR | POGORZELSKI, R. | This course examines fourth century Athens, Alexander the Great and the Hellenistic period. The readings will focus on Athenian law, Greek philosophy, the rise of Macedon, and the formation of the Hellenistic empires.

| CLASSIC 45C | CLASSICAL MYTHOLOGY | GIANNOPOULOU, Z. | Classical Mythology in Literature and Film
In this course we will examine a few ancient Greek myths, their interpretations, and the influence they have exerted on modern literature and film. Classics 45C is the third course in the series Classics 45 A,B.C. It's preferable, but not required, to take this course in sequence. The Classics 45 A,B,C series satisfies the Humanistic Inquiry Breadth requirement. The broader objectives of the series are to develop a solid knowledge of the material and to understand some of the ways in which the ancient Greeks and Romans used the medium of myth to interpret and deal with their world. |
| CLASSIC 151 | THE OLYMPIANS | GIANNOPOULOU, Z. | This course focuses on literary appropriations—both classical and contemporary—of Olympian divinities, such as Apollo, Athena, Dionysus, and Hades. Some of the issues we will grapple with are: the plasticity of myth; sociopolitical influences on the literary adaptations of myths; gender and myth; psychoanalysis and myth.
|
| CLASSIC 192B | SENIOR CAPSTONE | CLAXTON, C. | Under the guidance of a faculty mentor, majors design and execute a senior project. This
project may be a research paper, dramatic production, school curriculum, etc. All projects must
be approved by the faculty mentor. Prerequisite: satisfactory completion of the lower-division
writing requirement. |
| CLASSIC 220 | HELLENISTIC POETRY | PANTELIA, M. | This seminar will concentrate on the poetry of Theocritus. We will read a representative
selection of his bucolic idylls (1 and 11) but we will focus on his non-bucolic poems, namely
2, 15, 16-18, 22 and 24. In addition, we will read selections from other Hellenistic poets
(Callimachus Moschus, Bion and Herodas). In class we will concern ourselves with a close
reading and interpretation of the text as well as questions of intertextuality, genre, and larger
historical and intellectual contexts. Secondary readings will be assigned as appropriate.
The course grade will be determined by a final research paper, weekly assignments and
seminar participation. Text: K. J. Dover, Theocritus: Selected Idylls. Additional texts,
commentaries and secondary readings will be posted online or placed on reserve in the
Library. |
| CLASSIC 220 | JUVENAL | RASCHKE, W. | This course will offer a close reading of select satires of this major satirist, together with
literary-critical analysis and modern scholarly interpretation. Attention will be given to the
character of Juvenalian satire, the poet’s perception of his creative activities, and Juvenal’s
place in and contribution to the history of the genre. |
