CLAS 210 - Greek and Roman Mythology

FC ARHU CD

4 credits
Gods, monsters, heroines, and heroes! We will survey some of the major Greek and Roman myths, paying particular attention to the ways that “myths” – a set of commonly held stories within a culture – reflect and shape the societies that produce them. In addition to reading narratives from the primary sources, we will look at several modern theories of myth-interpretation, including anthropological, psychoanalytic, structuralist, and post-structuralist approaches.
