The primary material for this course will be a selection of readings from three or more different Latin poets connected by genre (e.g. epic, dramatic, lyric), theme (e.g. heroism and the hero, the body, the good life), period (e.g. Augustan, late Antique), or the like. Primary readings and critical approach will vary from year to year, making the course repeatable.

This course explores ancient ideas about the origins and structure of the universe and early human society and culture. We will study ancient scientific texts and creation stories that are shaped by a diverse range of philosophical and religious concepts. We will examine ideas about the composition and operating principles of the natural world, the relationships between gods and humans, and the development of human culture and its inherent connections to the natural environment.
