Greek and Roman Mythology

3 Credits

The stories of the gods and legendary heroes of the Greco-Roman tradition have provided the fountainhead for literature and the arts in the service of religious and political imagery down to the present. Explores literature, with extensive readings of such writers as Homer and Vergil (noting, in passing, the influence upon later literature), and the visual depiction of these myths will also be studied.
