Session I  (June 3 - June 28)

CLCV 104 -  Classical Mythology

Carol Dougherty - Professor of Classical Studies

Achilles’ heel, the Trojan Horse, Pandora’s Box, an Oedipal complex, a Herculean task—themes and figures from classical mythology continue to play an important role in our everyday life. We will read the original tales of classical heroes and heroines together with more modern treatments in film and literature. Why do these stories continue to engage, entertain, and even shock us? What is the nature and power of myth? Readings from ancient sources in English translation.
