CLAS 219 - Sexuality in Ancient Greece and Rome

FC ARHU CD
4 credits
Study of the construction of gender and sexual identities in ancient Greece and Rome. Emphasis will be on primary texts that demonstrate notions of sexual practice and/or identity, such as Aristophanes’ Thesmophoriazousae, Plato’s Symposium, Aeschines’ Against Timarchos, and poetry of Sappho, Catullus, Ovid, Martial, Juvenal. We will also read modern critical theorists (Foucault, Halperin, Richlin, Winkler), and will interrogate the accuracy of their arguments.
