| ANCH 026-401 | ANCIENT GREECE | MCINERNEY, JEREMY | 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. |

| ANCH 301-401 | PROBLEMS: GRK & RMN HIST | GREY, CAMPBELL | CLAUDIA COHEN HALL 203 | TR 1200PM-0130PM | The neat, comforting narratives that we construct of the histories of ancient Greece and Rome cover up a collection of controversies and debates that continue to rage in contemporary scholarship. Can we use the Homeric epics as sources of early Greek history? Who was responsible for the Peloponnesian War? How can we best explain Rome's acquisition of empire? How new was the political revolution of Augustus? What were the main reasons for the rise of Christianity? In this course, we explore these and other controversies, focusing on both modern scholarship and the ancient sources. All texts will be discussed in translation. No prior knowledge of Ancient History is required, although it would be useful to have taken ANCH 026 and/or ANCH 027. |

DAMON, CYNTHIA GREY, CAMPBELL |
COLLEGE HALL 311F | M 0200PM-0500PM | This course will explore Suetonius' 'Lives of the Caesars' together with the anonymous late antique text commonly referred to as the 'Scriptores Historiae Augustae'.
