GRST 321 - Topics in Greek Literature

Semester Offered: Spring
1 unit(s)
(Same as GRST 226 ) Topic for 2013/14b: Greek Utopias. A utopia is a place that is not (ou) a place at all, but an imagined place free from the troubles that beset our own firmly emplaced and human existence. In this class we look at different imaginings of utopias in Greek prose and poetry of the archaic and classical ages. Authors we might read include Homer, Hesiod, Plato, and Aristophanes. Through our examination of these fantastic places, we will come to a better understanding of how the Greeks imagined the particular terms that define human life. This course should be elected by students before electing any advanced Greek course in the department. Students enrolled in GRST 226  will have an extra hour of grammar review and students enrolled in 321 will have longer Greek assignments. Ms. Friedman.

Prerequisite(s): GRST 225  or permission of the instructor.

Two 75-minute periods and one 50-minute drill period.
