(Formerly CLASSGRK 111.) The course will be an intensive and extensive reading of this intriguing dialogue. Focus will center on making sense of the Greek and polishing translation/grammar skills. However, the trees of language should not prevent us from gazing at the whole forest. As it is, the Phaedrus deals with the significant interplay between eros and logos ¿i.e. the far-reaching extents of a rhetoric on love. Topics opened by this vein of thought include: a unique pastoral setting, philosophy and myth, the origins of poetic creation, types of madness, man¿s relation to the divine, the nature of the soul, the art of writing as a cause of oblivion. Classics majors and minors must take for a letter grade and may repeat for credit with advance approval from the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
