CLASSGEN 126B: Jewish-Christian Relations in Antiquity (RELIGST 226D)
Constructions of identity, community, ethnicity: these nnconsiderations frame the investigation of ancient Christian rhetoric nnand theology contra Iudaeos. This historical project will be set nnwithin the larger intellectual and cultural context of a) learned nnGraeco-Roman traditions of ethnic stereotyping; b) forensic nnrhetoric; and c) philosophical paideia; and these nntraditions will be considered within their larger social context of the Mediterranean nncity (I-III). Specifically, various Christian, and especially Latin nntraditions contra Iudaeos (IV-VI) will be studied.
CLASSGEN 229: Classical Epic and the English Renaissance
The reception of Greek and Latin epics in 16th- and 17th-century England. How were the ancient epics read and interpreted? What kinds of commentary were being used and written? The creative appropriation of the ancient epics in new poems: Spenser and Milton set against the background of less well-known epics of the period, with focus on civil war epics.
CLASSGEN 243: Second Sophistic Science
Scientific works from the Roman Empire.

Readings depend on student interests but may begin with Vitruvius, Nicomachus, Galen, and Ptolemy. Readings in translation.
