CLST 026-401 ANCIENT GREECE WILKER, JULIA CLAUDIA COHEN HALL G17 MW 1200PM-0100PM The Greeks enjoy a special place in the construction of western culture and identity, and yet many of us have only the vaguest notion of what their culture was like. A few Greek myths at bedtime when we are kids, maybe a Greek tragedy like Sophokles' Oidipous when we are at school: these are often the only contact we have with the world of the ancient Mediterranean. The story of the Greeks, however, deserves a wider audience, because so much of what we esteem in our own culture derives from them: democracy, epic poetry, lyric poetry, tragedy, history writing, philosophy, aesthetic taste, all of these and many other features of cultural life enter the West from Greece. The oracle of Apollo at Delphi had inscribed over the temple, "Know Thyself." For us, that also means knowing the Greeks. We will cover the period from the Late Bronze Age, c. 1500 BC, down to the time of Philip of Macedon, c. 350 BC, concentrating on the two hundred year interval from 600-400 BC.

CLST 100-050 CLASSICAL MYTHOLOGY Myths are traditional stories that have endured many years. Some of them have to do with events of great importance, such as the founding of a nation. Others tell the stories of great heroes and heroines and their exploits and courage in the face of adversity. Still others are simple tales about otherwise unremarkable people who get into trouble or do some great deed. What are we to make of all these tales, and why do people seem to like to hear them? This course will focus on the myths of ancient Greece and Rome, as well as a few contemporary American ones, as a way of exploring the nature of myth and the function it plays for individuals, societies, and nations. We will also pay some attention to the way the Greeks and Romans themselves understood their own myths. Are myths subtle codes that contain some universal truth? Are they a window on the deep recesses of a particular culture? Are they entertaining stories that people like to tell over and over? Are they a set of blinders that all of us wear, though we do not realize it? Investigate these questions through a variety of topics creation of the universe between gods and mortals, religion and family, sex, love, madness, and death.

    CLST 102-401 CLASSICAL TRADITIONS WILSON, EMILY COLLEGE HALL 318 TR 0300PM-0430PM In this course, we will study what continuities there are between contemporary society and those of ancient Greece and Rome; the ways in which our culture is fundamentally different from theirs; and the reasons why medieval, early modern, and modern people have chosen either to look back to antiquity, or to turn away from it. Is our identity shaped by the Greeks and Romans, or not? And how did we get from their culture to our own? We will survey different strands of the "classical tradition". The main focus will be on literary texts, especially poetry, and we will use the class as an opportunity to practice talking and writing about literature. We will also think about what the terms "classical" and "tradition" might mean.

    CLST 219-601 GRT BTLS ANCH WRLD MEIBERG, LINDA UNIVERSITY MUSEUM 330 W 0500PM-0800PM Ancient battles have offered great source material for Hollywood movies, such as Gladiator and Troy, the result being the aggrandizement and glamorization of warfare in antiquity. But what were ancient battles really like? What weapons and tactics were used? What innovations and developments in ancient warfare changed the playing field? And who were the leading characters on the battlefield that lead their armies to victory? Through a survey of some of the great battles of the Ancient Near East (Egypt, Israel, Assyria) and the Classical World (Greece, Macedonia, Rome), this course will lead you to explore issues such as the historical context of ancient warfare, how different aspects of warfare evolve over time, and the role and effects of war in ancient society, on soldier and citizen alike. Each week we will tackle some of the most notable battles fought in the Mediterranean region from the Bronze Age to the first century CE, includinghe campaign of the Egyptian pharaoh Thutmosis III against Megiddo, Homer's Trojan War, the Athenian/Persian naval battle at Salamis, and the Roman army's siege of Masada. We will discuss ancient attitudes toward war and violence, theechnical aspects of armor, weaponry, and tactics, and the strategy of individual battles and wars. Additionally, we will debate the validity of the ancient literary sources and the archaeological evidence that provide information about war and warfare in antiquity, and we will review the problemsassociated with the use of this evidence. Additional topics of inquiry include the role of animals in war, depictions of war in ancient art, and the portrayal of warfare in Hollywood.

The course will survey in depth the Phoenician colonization which created Karthadasht, "Newtown," linked to Elissa-Dido, its empire later guided by the great Barca family of Hannibal. Readings, lectures and museum sessions will explore Phoenician and Punic society, commerce, warfare, art and religion, including Penn's Sarepta excavations and a wealth of traded goods sought by all the cultures of the Mediterranean world and beyond.

This course encourages and enables students to define and question the boundaries of their discipline, and to explore multiple methods of analyzing antiquity. We will investigate big topics -- such as History, Space, Language, Ritual, Status, Gender and Performance -- from a range of alternate perspectives (considering, for example, how material culture, philology and history might intersect, and might not). A major goal of the course will be to encourage students, at the outset of their scholarly careers, to understand the recursive loop between theory and practice. Requirements will include short writing assignments (around 5pp.), spaced throughout the semester. The course is graded as Satisfactory/ Not Satisfactory.

Using polarized light microscopy, the first half of this course will cover the basics of mineralogy and the petrography of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. The second half will focus on the petrographic description of ceramic materials, mainly pottery, with emphasis on the interpretation of provenance and technology. As part of this course, students will characterize and analyze archaeological samples from various collections. Prior knowledge of geology is not required.

Each week, invited lecturers will address the class on different aspects of archaeological methodology in their own research, emphasizing specific themes that will be highlighted in readings and subsequent discussion. The course is divided into five sections: Introduction to the Mediterranean Section; Collections; Method and Theory in Mediterranean Archaeology; Museum Work; and Ethics. The course is designed for new AAMW graduate students, though other graduate students or advanced undergraduate students may participate with the permission of the instructor.
