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.
