Course Catalog Description:
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. Some modern secondary reading will be assigned to provide a basis for discussion and a model for student written work. prereq: [3004 or equiv], at least two yrs of college level Latin. Contact the Classical & Near Eastern Religions & Cultures Department with any questions.
Class Notes:
Even in the ancient world, Vergil's Aeneid exerted a profound literary and intellectual influence on Latin writers. In this course, we read some selections of Vergil's epic to prepare for further Latin readings in late antiquity, the medieval period, and early modernity. In addition to reading across the Aeneid's literary heritage, this course will also explore its effects on philosophers, educators, and artists of later eras.
