CLASSICS 201G: Greek Core I: History of Literature

CLASSICS 201L: Latin Core I: Catiline

In-depth reading (in selection or parts) of Cicero's Catilinarians, Pro Caelio, letters, the Rhetorica ad Herennium, and Sallust's Bellum Catilinae. In class we'll translate and analyze these texts, reviewing grammatical issues as needed and concentrating on elements of style. One consistent conceptual interest will be in the persona of Catiline. The philological commentaries by A.R. Dyck (In Cat.), R.G. Austin (Pro Cael.), and J.T. Ramsey (BC) will be our guides in our detailed reading. Participants will become familiar with these key literary works, their respective genres, and the significance of rhetoric; they will deepen their understanding of different prose styles; and they will sharpen their Latin translation skills.

CLASSICS 202G: Greek Core II: Philosophy, Poetry, and the Arts

How did Classical philosophy compete or engage with the powerful poetic and more broadly artistic discourses of the 5th and 4th centuries BCE. Detailed reading and discussion of philosophical texts included in the reading list, occasionally juxtaposed and compared with poetic texts of the same period. How did the encounter of Classical philosophy with the verbal and visual arts affect the very concept of canonization that later came to define the discipline.

CLASSICS 202L: Latin Core II: Age of Nero

In-depth reading of a major poet or a themed selection of poetry, e.g. Vergil, Horace or Ovid. Courses may be theme-based, e.g. Aeneas in Vergil and Ovid, or genre-based, combining representative selections of epic, elegy or satire from various authors. Goals will be to acquire detailed knowledge of selected literary works and genres, become familiar with key scholarly debates, and sharpen translation skills by focused reading in the same or similar styles. Students will be responsible for an agreed amount of Latin reading each week, with the intention that less proficient readers especially will ramp up over the course of the term towards increased fluency. Most class time should be devoted to Latin translation and stylistic analysis; short tests, examinations and written assignments will reflect these goals. Assessment will be in the form of two midterms plus a final examination, with a view to the Reading List examination.

CLASSICS 203G: Greek Core III: Aeschylus and Euripides

In this course, students will translate and analyze two ancient Greek tragedies: Aeschylus' Suppliants (c. 463 BCE) and Euripides' Medea (431 BCE). As the only extant tragedy from Greek antiquity featuring characters who explicitly reflect on their black skin color, Suppliants destabilizes a monolithic definition of alterity as fifty black Egyptian Greek women transform from frightened maidens into astute performers. In line with their interrogation of foreignness in the Suppliants, students will examine Euripides' characterization of Medea. Namely, after Medea learns that her husband will marry another woman, she kills her own children and leaves a foreign country with her safety intact. Altogether, students will increase their knowledge of Greek grammar and syntax and become familiar with essential aspects of Greek tragedy in primary and secondary sources.

CLASSICS 203L: Latin Core III: History of Literature

Selected coverage of the translation/general reading list, with readings chosen so as to broaden experience beyond Core I-II, and to plac texts from those courses in a broader frame. Overall, this course will help prepare students for translation and general examinations, though naturally it can only gesture in that direction: full preparation is the student's responsibility. Since the aim of Core III will be to place Latin literature in a broader historical context, readings from overviews such as G.B. Conte, Latin Literature: a history and Michael von Albrecht's A History of Roman Literature will be useful. The course will also be wider in scope than Latin Core I-II, and for the sake of efficiency, will be organized by genre, with particular emphasis on Comedy, Satire, and the Novel. Philological commentaries by D. Christenson (Pl. Amph.), S. M. Braund (Juv.), and M. Smith (Petr.) will provide our major reading, along with shorter selections from Terence, Horace, and Apuleius.

Limited class time will be devoted to Latin translation and stylistic analysis; discussion will instead emphasize historical developments. Course assessments will include regular writing assignments and several exams, with a view to preparing students for the Latin Literature examination.
