This course will be a half-credit survey of Greek and Roman antiquity whose aim is to expose students to the variety of interests and interpretive strategies that exist in Classical Studies. It will be organized around four major units -- Homer's ILIAD or ODYSSEY; selected Greek tragedies; Ovid's METAMORPHOSES or Vergil's AENEID; and Petronius's SATYRICON or Apuleius' GOLDEN ASS. The exact selection will vary from year to year, depending on the faculty available. At each weekly session, one member of the Classics faculty will lead a discussion of the text on the basis of his or her own specialty. Thus the approaches will include literary analysis, social and cultural history, and art and archaeology. One of our faculty will serve as "overseer" for the semester, attending all the classes, directing the assignments, and evaluating the students' papers and class participation.
