Spring Courses Posted
The Spring 2010 Classical Studies course schedule is now available online. It features a new course by Prof. Stevens entitled “The Power of Images in Ancient Greece and Rome,” in which students will study significant monuments and art works of the classical world side by side with Greek and Roman literature. Other courses include Prof. Romer’s Greek and Roman Religions, Prof. Papalas’s Greek History, Prof. Teske’s Greek Tragedy, and my own Classical Mythology. And, as I mentioned in my last post, Prof. Peter Green will be returning to ECU and will offer a course on Herodotus and the Persian Wars. Prof. Green has recently finished a new translation of Herodotus’s Histories. Many of the historical and historiographical issues he faced in his translation project will be fodder for the class. If you saw the movie 300 and want to know more about Xerxes’ invasion of Greece, this is the course for you.
