LIT1433 Readings in Ancient Literature

This course presents a meticulous scrutiny of chief pieces of classical Greek and Roman literature.  Analysis of some of the literature generated will cast light on how societies and cultures were expressed through literature.  It will also illustrate how that literature has persisted to impact to our knowledge of those civilizations and cultures today.

You will come to have an understanding of ancient civilizations and cultures.  The prose of the period will shed light on the people, their belief system, and how life was.  The opportunity to glance into times long ago can be expanded by researching the stories, poems, and dramas generated in those times.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

The ancient Greeks established, advanced and titled almost every literary variety known to the Western tradition:  epic, lyric, and pastoral poetry, tragic and comic drama, prose history, philosophy, and the novel.  All of these have entrenched foundations in the literature of ancient Greece.  The student will participate in an interdisciplinary study using these assortments of literacy.  By the end of this course, all students should:

  • Extend a capability to read texts relative to history
  • Identify how texts are connected to social and cultural classifications, establishments, and organizations
  • Amplify a multifaceted sense of the disposition of literary fashions in classical literature and their results
  • Appreciate Greek and Roman standards of beauty and expression in their own terms
  • Examine the correlations between classical literature and later literary creation
  • Augment the capacity to probe a literary text
  • Expand a sharper knowledge of the roots of society as we know it
