Description
This course is designed to acquaint the student with myths found in Greek and Latin literature. Origins, functions, and interpretations of myths are examined. We also study myths as story-plots. Selections in translation from Greek and Roman writers are used to illustrate myths about the origin of the universe; gods and heroes; sagas involving Thebes, Mycenae and Troy, and the national myths of Rome.
Note
Students may not receive credit in both the former CLAS-2701(6) and CLAS-2701(3).
