Description: This class will read some classics – works written in Greco-Roman antiquity that, in the words of Samuel Johnson, have “stood the test of time, and been admired through all the changes which the mind of man has suffered from the various revolutions of knowledge.” The works are foundational to European and world culture. Our main purpose is to become closely familiar with them, by reading them slowly and interpreting them carefully. We will also try to understand better the cultures in which they were produced. Finally, we will look at moments in their reception history and thus observe flashes of their profound influence in later traditions.
Formerly offered as EURO 101. Students cannot receive credit for both CLAS 101 and EURO 101
