HUMN 7301 - Greek Mythology and Literature
Credits: 3
Examines the myths and legends of Ancient Greece through ancient poetry and plays. It is through myth that ancient societies examined their most complex questions about the relationships between gods and men, the nature of mortality, war and peace, glory and ignominy, and suffering and happiness. Ancient myths changed over time, manipulated by each generation and by innovative artists, to address new questions and to answer old questions in new ways. Students read the most important literary sources for Greek myth and discuss the roles of these works in ancient Greek cultures and their legacies across time. May be applied to the following curricular field concentration: humanities. (*updated* 12/22/2017; effective Spring 2018)
