Students who study in the Greek and Roman Studies department explore aspects of the ancient Mediterranean world with an emphasis on the cultures of Greece and Rome. At the heart of this exploration are the languages of the Greeks and the Romans, their literature, their history, their art, their philosophy, their religion, their politics, their relations with the other peoples of the Mediterranean, and their reception and interpretation by later cultures.
The story of “Classical” scholarship goes back to the Library of Alexandria in the 4th and 3rd centuries BCE. The project that the scholars of the library undertook was to collect, copy and edit as many texts of Greek literature as they could find. The study of the Greeks and Romans still has at its core this act of preservation. But, like the Alexandrian scholars and perhaps more self-consciously, we acknowledge that we are also involved in an act of reinterpretation. Our goal is both to preserve the knowledge of ancient cultures but also to interpret that knowledge in the context of contemporary culture.
We bring to this project many different skills and many different methods. Again, at the heart of the enterprise is the philological skills that the Alexandrian scholars developed: the ability to look back at a “dead” language and imagine it in its living form, in order to be able to read the written remains as richly as possible. An ancient historian adds to this skill the ability to gather disparate kinds of fragmentary evidence, both literary and material, to reconstruct both the major national and international events that shaped these cultures and the texture of the lives of their peoples from day to day. In this they rely heavily on archaeologists who uncover the physical traces of the past and attempt to establish a chronology and a function for these remains. Literary scholars find in works of literature not only evidence for the aesthetic principles that govern the creation of literary works of art but also apply modern theoretical approaches that allow us to see literature as a reflection of social, political and religious assumptions.
But in the end every student of Greek and Roman Studies is using insights about the ancient world to enrich his or her understanding of our modern world. In the end what classicists develop is an intense self-consciousness about the nature of their own assumptions, fashioned by the world in which they live - assumptions which the study of antiquity allows us to question and assumptions which we must question in order to be able to focus our attention on the strange “otherness” of different cultures that have much to teach us.
Recommendations: All students are strongly advised to study either Greek or Latin language at the 300-level.
Recommendations for graduate study: Students considering graduate work in Greek and Roman Studies should at a minimum have at least 2 units of 300 level work in one ancient language and 1 unit of 300 level work in the other. Proficiency in at least one relevant modern foreign language (e.g. French, Italian, German) is also recommended.
Departmental honors: In addition to the senior project students must elect 300-level work in the department both semesters of their senior year to be considered for honors.
Advisers: The department.

GRST 100 - Then and Now: Reinterpreting Greece and Rome Semester Offered: Spring
1 unit(s)
Here we are at the beginning of the 21st century, yet all around us we continue to see allusions to and creative engagements with Greek and Roman antiquity. From the bestseller list which features a novel claiming to reveal recently discovered books of the Odyssey to an HBO series that takes place in ancient Rome and comparisons of the post 9/11 United States to the Roman Empire in the news, the worlds of ancient Greece and Rome continue to be viscerally alive and compelling as sources for artistic and cultural production. Why is this so? In this course we examine the ways that the legacies of classical antiquity continue to be felt today and invite us to explore the cultures of Greece and Rome. The course serves as an interdisciplinary introduction to the study of Greek and Roman languages, literature, history, and archaeology and the interpretation of these cultures by subsequent civilizations. The course addresses both the complex political, social, intellectual, and cultural settings of the ancient world and the ways in which the study of antiquity can challenge and enrich our experience of the present. To pursue these questions we read ancient texts, examine material artifacts, study linguistic evidence, and engage with creative contemporary responses to antiquity and recent theoretical work on the study of the ancient world. In serving as an overview of the kinds of questions that contemporary culture inspires us to ask of and about antiquity and the materials and approaches that scholars use for their inquiries, the course prepares the student for further work in the department. Curtis Dozier.

GRST 101 - Civilization in Question Semester Offered: Fall
1 unit(s)
(Same as CLCS 101 and MRST 101 ) In the past, college curricula in this country were often organized around the idea of the “Great Books” of “Western Civilization.” Today though, the very idea of a Western literary canon has been challenged as a vehicle for reinforcing questionable norms and hierarchies and silencing other important perspectives. In this class we read well-known ancient, medieval and Renaissance texts with a view to how they themselves question the civilizations from which they emerge. A unique feature of this class is that it is taught by faculty from three different disciplines who bring a variety of interpretive practices to bear on the texts. This creates a classroom environment in which dialogue is the means to discovery. Students are encouraged to be part of the conversation both during class and in weekly discussion sections. Readings may include such authors as Homer, Aeschylus, Plato, Augustine, Chretien de Troyes, and Machiavelli. Nancy Bisaha, Rachel Friedman, and Christopher Raymond.
Two 75-minute periods plus extra periods. -
GRST 104 - Greek Archaeology
1 unit(s)
This course examines sites and monuments of the ancient Greek world from the Bronze Age to the Classical period. We introduce archaeological methods, examine the history and developement of Greek archaeology from the origins of the field in the 1870’s to the present, and trace the chronological development of Greek art and architecture across several major sites including Knossos, Mycenae, Olympia, Delphi, and Athens. Particular emphasis is placed on understanding and interpreting monuments in terms of their political, social, and economic contexts. Barbara Olsen.

GRST 186 - Violence in Ancient Literature and American Cinema Semester Offered: Fall
1 unit(s)
(Same as MEDS 186 ) “I would guess that the vast majority of the people who are seeing it … are taking it for kicks and thrills and are coming away from it palpitating with a vicarious sense of the enjoyment of war.” So writes New York Times film critic Bosley Crowther about the 1967 film The Dirty Dozen, but could his words not equally apply to the grisly war violence of the Homeric Iliad? In other words, why are violent poems like the Iliad and Aeneid typically exempt from the kinds of criticisms that are leveled at cinematic violence? In this course we explore questions of taste and representation by putting works of ancient literature, especially ancient epic, in dialogue with landmarks of American screen violence like Scarface, Bonnie and Clyde and Psycho. In addition to formal analysis of cinematic and literary texts, we investigate the impact of gender, genre, medium, audience and production context on the ways that violence is depicted. Students also have the opportunity to collaborate on their own cinematic adaptation of a scene of ancient literary violence. The department.
Two 75-minute periods. -
GRST 187 - Greek Tragedy for Trauma Semester Offered: Fall
1 unit(s)
In this class we look at the work of Outside the Wire, a production company based in NYC that uses ancient Greek tragedy to help different communities deal with trauma and suffering: combat veterans and their families, prisoners and the people who guard them, those dealing with end of life care, and people struggling with addiction. We consider the efficacy of the arts—particularly the ancient arts—for dealing with modern afflictions. We also ask some of the big questions that preoccupied the ancient Greeks and that still preoccupy us today: what are the effects of war on individuals and communities? How can communities heal from tragedy, suffering, and loss? What are the gendered dimensions of violence? Whose stories get told and why? Readings include Bryan Doerries’ Theater of War and various ancient dramas such as Sophocles’ Ajax and Philoctetes, and Euripides’ Trojan Woman and Herakles, among others. In addition to academic essays, writing assignments include personal narratives and theatrical reviews. Tara Mulder.
Open only to freshmen; satisfies the college requirement for a Freshman Writing Seminar.

GRST 202 - Myth
1 unit(s)
This course examines ancient myth from a variety of theoretical perspectives. It compares Greek and Roman myth with other mythic traditions and explores different versions of the same myth within Greek and Roman culture. We also consider transformations of ancient myths into modem versions. Literary, artistic, and archaeological evidence provide ways to understand the function of myth in ancient Greek and Roman society. Rachel Friedman.

GRST 203 - Women in Greek and Roman History and Myth Semester Offered: Fall
1 unit(s)
(Same as WMST 203 ) Greek and Roman literary and historical accounts abound with vividly drawn women such as Helen, Antigone, Medea, Livia, and Agrippina, the mother of Nero. But how representative were such figures of the daily lives of women throughout Greek and Roman antiquity? This course investigates the images and realities of women in the ancient Greek and Roman world, from the Greek Late Bronze Age (c. 1200 BCE) to the Roman Empire (up to the III c. CE) by juxtaposing evidence from literature, historical sources, and archaeological material. Throughout, the course examines the complex ways in which ancient women interacted with the institutions of the state, the family, religion, and the arts. Barbara Olsen.
Two 75-minute periods. -
GRST 204 - Gender and Sexuality in Roman Culture
1 unit(s)
(Same as WMST 204 ) This course examines in detail the sexual attitudes and behaviors of the ancient Romans and the gender roles that both shaped and were shaped by those attitudes. We study selections from ancient Greek and Roman literature, examine artistic remains, and read articles written by prominent scholars of ancient Rome. While the readings are in roughly chronological order, the course is principally organized by topic (e.g., a day for “Roman pederasty” or “Vestal virgins”). All readings are in English translation.

GRST 211 - Rome: The Art of Empire
1 unit(s)
(Same as ART 211 ) From humble beginnings to its conquest of most of the known world, Rome dominated the Mediterranean with the power of its empire. Art and architecture gave monumental expression to its political ideology, especially in the building of cities that spread Roman civilization across most of Europe and parts of the Middle East and Africa. Roman art also featured adornment, luxury, and collecting in both public and private spheres. Given the diversity of the people included in the Roman empire and its artistic forms, what is particularly Roman about Roman art? Eve D’Ambra.
Prerequisite(s): ART 105 or ART 106 or one unit in Greek and Roman Studies, or permission of the instructor.

GRST 215 - The Art and Archaeology of Ancient Egypt
1 unit(s)
(Same as ART 215 ) Ancient Egypt has long fascinated the public with its pyramids, mummies, and golden divine rulers. This course provides a survey of the archaeology, art, and architecture of ancient Egypt from the prehistoric cultures of the Nile Valley through the period of Cleopatra’s rule and Roman domination. Topics to be studied include the art of the funerary cult and the afterlife, technology and social organization, and court rituals of the pharaohs, along with aspects of everyday life. Eve D’Ambra.
Prerequisite(s): ART 105 or ART 106 or one unit of Greek and Roman Studies, or permission of the instructor.

GRST 216 - History of the Ancient Greeks
1 unit(s)
(Same as HIST 216 ) This course examines the history and culture of the ancient Greeks from the emergence of the city-state in the eighth century BCE to the conquests of Alexander the Great in 335 BCE. In addition to an outline of the political and social history of the Greeks, the course examines several historical, cultural, and methodological topics in depth, including the emergence of writing, Greek colonialism and imperialism, ancient democracy, polytheism, the social structures of Athenian society, and the relationship between Greeks and other Mediterranean cultures. Students both read primary sources (for example, Sappho, Tyrtaios, Herodotus, Thucydides, Aristophanes, and Plato) and examine sites and artifacts recovered through archaeology; the development of students’ critical abilities to evaluate and use these sources for the study of history is a primary goal of the class. Barbara Olsen.
Not offered in 2017/18.

GRST 217 - History of the Ancient Romans
1 unit(s)
(Same as HIST 217 ) This course examines the history of the ancient Romans from the foundation of their city around the eighth century BCE to the collapse of their Mediterranean Empire in the fifth century CE. The course offers a broad historical outline of Roman history, but focuses on significant topics and moments in Roman history, including the Republican aristocracy, the civil and slave wars of the Late Republic, the foundation of the Empire by Caesar Augustus, urbanism, the place of public entertainments (gladiatorial combats, Roman hunts, chariot races, and theater) in society, the rise of Christianity, the processes of Romanization, and barbarization, and the political decline and fall of the Roman Empire. Students read primary sources such as Plautus, Cicero, Livy, Tacitus, and Suetonius, and secondary accounts dealing with important issues such as slavery, religious persecution and multiculturalism. Students also examine important archaeological sites and artifacts. The development of students’ critical abilities to evaluate and use these sources for the study of history is a primary goal of the class. Tara Mulder.
Two 75-minute periods. -
GRST 219 - The First Cities: The Art and Archaeology of the Ancient Near East Semester Offered: Spring
1 unit(s)
(Same as ART 219 and URBS 219 ) The art, architecture, and artifacts of the region comprising ancient Iraq, Iran, Syria, Palestine, and Turkey from 3200 BCE to the conquest of Alexander the Great in the fourth century BCE. Beginning with the rise of cities and cuneiform writing in Mesopotamia, course topics include the role of the arts in the formation of states and complex societies, cult practices, trade and military action, as well as in everyday life. How do we make sense of the past through its ruins and artifacts, especially when they are under attack (the destruction wrought by ISIS)? Eve D’Ambra.
Prerequisite(s): ART 105 or 106 or one unit in Greek and Roman Studies, or permission of the instructor.

GRST 286 - Gaming Antiquity: Interactive Historical Fiction and Classical Athens Semester Offered: Spring
1 unit(s)
(Same as MEDS 286 ) Have you ever experienced the feeling of being joyfully lost in another world? Maybe you felt this sensation when reading Harry Potter or The Lord of the Rings, or perhaps you experienced it while creating your own work of art? In this course you have the opportunity to evoke this sense of immersion by crafting your own interactive historical fiction in the form of a digital role-playing game set in classical Athens. We begin by reading Mary Renault’s classic of historical fiction, The Last of the Wine, and exploring how she so effectively conjures the world of 5th-century Athens. You then begin working in teams to craft your own historical fiction in the form of a playable ‘quest’ designed within the framework of a tabletop role-playing game. For your culminating project you craft a digital version of your quest by ‘modding’ (modifying) The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. This course aims to develop your creative, technical and analytical capacities all at once by challenging you not just to develop a playable historical fiction set within the ancient world, but also to confront the difficult questions of adaptation posed by the disturbing realities of antiquity, like patriarchy, pederasty and slavery. No experience in Computer Science is necessary to enroll in this course.
Two 75-minute periods. -
GRST 289 - Homer’s Odyssey: From Oral Composition to Digital Editions Semester Offered: Fall
1 unit(s)
(Same as MEDS 289 ) In this course we consider the long history of Homer’s epic poem from its beginning as an oral composition in Archaic Greece to its current manifestations in digital editions. Along the way we look at papyrii, medieval manuscripts, early print editions, examples of fine printing and contemporary versions. As we consider the history of the poem we also study the poem itself and explore the ways that its meaning has also been transformed through time. Among the issues we consider are orality and oral cultures, the advent of writing, the development of the text and the influence of technology. We examine materials in Greek, Latin, and English though no knowledge of the ancient languages is required. The Archives and Special Collections Library, with its rich collection of primary sources, will serve as our laboratory. Rachel Friedman and Ronald Patkus.

GRST 301 - Seminar in Classical Civilization Semester Offered: Fall
1 unit(s)
Topic for 2017/18a: Slavery and Violence in Ancient Greece and Rome. Slavery was ubiquitous in ancient Greece and Rome. Without enslaved peoples the Athenians would not have built the Parthenon, created “democracy,” and dominated the Mediterranean. Famous Roman writers and statesmen such as Cicero, Tacitus, and Marcus Aurelius would not have had the leisure or resources to write and publish the texts that we know as classics today. But slaves were subjected to a harsh, restricted, and dominated existence, despite the romanticization of slavery that we see in Roman Comedy and the fantasy of emancipation in elite narratives of ancient slavery. Seen as the property of their owners, enslaved people, men and women alike, were particularly at risk for physical and sexual violence. They were theorized as sub-human entities who did not have the right to bodily autonomy or state-recognized family relationships. In this course, we look at the history of slavery in the ancient Greek and Roman worlds, giving particular attention to the disconnect between philosophies about slaves and slavery articulated by elite writers and the lived realities of slavery as accessed through written, epigraphical, and visual evidence. We look at how modern scholars have understood ancient Mediterranean slavery within the broader history of slavery in the world and look at the most up-to-date studies on ancient slavery. Primary readings in English translation are selected from a wide range of Greek and Roman authors including Lysias, Aristotle, Demosthenes, Plautus, Cicero, Livy, Pliny, Tacitus, Galen, and Roman legal writers, among others. Tara Mulder.

GRST 302 - The Blegen Seminar Semester Offered: Spring
1 unit(s)
The course is offered by the Blegen Distinguished Visiting Research Professor or the Blegen Research Fellow in Classics, appointed annually to pursue research and lecture on his/her scholarly concerns in classical antiquity. We encourage students to take note of the fact that each Blegen Seminar is uniquely offered and will not be repeated. Since the topic changes every year, the course may be taken for credit more than once.
Topic for 2017/18b: Literature on the Brain: An Introduction to Cognitive Literary Studies. What happens to your brain when you read a poem and find yourself laughing out loud or wrinkling your nose in disgust? What makes a story feel “nightmarish,” “trancelike” or “dreamy” and can we pinpoint the literary features that generate such impressions? Why do we care so much about characters we meet in novels? Cognitive Literary Studies is an emerging approach the study of literature that seeks to answer precisely such questions. It uses insights drawn from cognitive science to reveal why novels and poems make us feel the way they do. Each week we read cutting edge research in this exciting new field and ask how it helps us make sense of literary texts. These texts range widely through different languages, cultures and times from ancient Greek epics to contemporary American science fiction. The course appeals to students with interests in Greek and Roman Studies, literary studies, linguistics, psychology, neuroscience, philosophy and beyond – but it requires no prior experience in any of these areas. Elizabeth Young.
Prerequisite(s): previous coursework in Greek and Roman Studies or a field related to the topic, or permission of the instructor.

GRST 314 - Seminar in Ancient Art Semester Offered: Spring
1 unit(s)
(Same as ART 314 and URBS 314 ) Topic for 2017/18b: Pompeii: Public and Private Life. The volcanic eruption of Vesuvius in A.D. 79 blotted out life in Pompeii, but the Roman town lives on as a study site and tourist attraction. Its urban development with grand theaters and amphitheaters alongside of taverns and brothels exemplifies high and low Roman culture. The homes of private citizens demonstrate intense social competition in their scale, grounds, and the Greek myths painted on walls. Pompeii gave shape to the world of Roman citizens and others through its raucous street life and gleaming monumental centers. Eve D’Ambra.
