Additional Course Info | Class Number: 1669 This intermediate Greek course features Herodotus’ Histories, a sweeping investigation into why the massive, wealthy, multiethnic empire of Persia and the fractious Greeks came into conflict. We also read poems by lyric poets, including the acid-tongued Archilochus and Sappho, whose songs of love, lust, and longing have shaped subsequent discourses on desire and the feminine voice. This course, which explores themes of war and peace, love and hate, self and other, monsters and marvels, also lays the foundation for reading Homer in the spring. ; Prerequisite(s): GREK 002 or equivalent, or instructor consent Div: III; Approach: Critical Interpretation (CI); Humanities (HU) |
