CLST 013. First-Year Seminar: Mythology

This course examines selected myths in such major works of Greek and Latin literature as Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, the tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, Virgil’s Aeneid, and Ovid’s Metamorphoses. Specific texts and images are treated both as individual stories and in relation to other texts and images that tell the same mythological tale. Primary texts are supplemented by modern theoretical readings in gender, psychology, and literary theory.
