| CLASSIC 37A | EARLY ROME | SNYDER, R. | This course is a survey of some of the highlights of Roman civilization from its 8th century beginnings to the civil wars of the first century BCE. We will look not only at political history, but also at social history, literature, art and architecture, and religion. The course will consider a number of questions, including the various factors underwriting Rome's rise to global domination. We will also consider how the Romans were able to develop stable principles of government, and how these principals were eventually transformed by the actions of figures like the bloodthirsty dictator Sulla. Although Rome was, like America, a relatively inclusive mix of different ethnic groups and peoples, it maintained a fundamental cultural continuity throughout much of its history. The Roman achievement is undeniably impressive, but it was not without a great cost in human suffering. We will examine the Roman system of slavery (which was non-racial in character), the patriarchal nature of Roman society, and the plight of the poor and underprivileged. In brief, beside providing students with a solid factual basis for Roman history, the course will also identify some of the issues that have made Roman civilization an abiding fascination, source of both admiration and loathing for almost all subsequent ages, including our own. Classics 37A is the first part of the Roman Civilization series (37ABC), which satisfies the Humanities General Education Requirement (IV) and is the same as History 37A. |
| CLASSIC 45B | THE HEROES | KARANIKA, A. | This course will concentrate on myths about ancient heroes, such as Hercules, Odysseus, Jason and those featured in the Trojan and Theban Saga. The overall goal is to understand the nature of the heroic, as depicted by ancient writers and artists, and to appreciate the ways in which the ancient Greeks used myths in order to interpret their world. The grade for this course will be based on five exams, each of which will have a combination of multiple-choice questions and short essay questions. |
