ANCIENT GREEK: THUCYDIDES |
|
|
|

In this course we will read a selection of the corpus of hexameter poems known as the Homeric Hymns, familiarizing ourselves with the style and form of these poems and with their narratives about specific Olympian gods , sometimes canonical and sometimes unorthodox. We will also compare the hymns with Homer and Hesiod and with Greek lyric and tragic poetry in order to get a better sense of the overall range of Greek mythic poetry.
In fall 2014, we will read a selection from the comic satirical prose writer Lucian, looking at a selection of his fantastic, proto- science fiction journeys to the moon and beyond, as well as his funny dialogues featuring gods, philosophers, dead heroes and poets.
