Love, Beauty, and Protection

3 Hours

Examine selected works of Greek and Roman art (sixth century B.C. to fourth century A.D.) to explore how ancients thought about themselves with regard to love, sexuality, divine and human beauty, and protection from demonic forces. Focus on social and cultural contexts, gender, and practices of daily life. Art History 327U and Women's and Gender Studies 345C may not both be counted. Three lecture hours a week for one semester.
