GRST 180 - The Trojan War

The Trojan cycle with its myths of Helen, Achilles, Agamemnon, Odysseus, Paris, and Hektor occupies the central position in Greek mythology. Immortalized in Homeric epic, dramatic and lyric poetry, and throughout Greek art, these myths reveal much about how the ancient Greeks understood their own antiquity. By studying the literary and archaeological evidence pertaining to the Trojan war, students discover what the legends and heroes of antiquity reveal to us about how the ancient Greeks understood their world and their place in it. Ms. Olsen.

Two 75-minute periods.
