In this course students read some of the great books of ancient civilizations: the Odyssey, Gilgamesh, Oresteia, Oedipus Rex, Medea, the Ramayana, and the poetry of Sappho, Catullus and Horace. In doing so, they examine both the ways in which these ancient cultures that produced these works have contributed to our own culture as well as the ways in which they sharply differ from our own. |
