The vibrant city of Athens, with its rich cultural history, will serve as the backdrop for students to read, discuss, and interpret significant works of literature addressing gender, sexuality and art in the ancient Greek world. Whether you are familiar with the classics or are encountering them for the first time, this course will offer new perspectives on ancient epic, tragedy, comedy, lyric, and oratory. In addition, we will supplement our readings with visits to the museums and sites of Athens and neighboring cities around Greece to explore the material and archaeological evidence on ancient gender and sexuality.
Includes excursions to the Parthenon, the Theater of Dionysus, Mycenae, Delphi, many museums around Athens, and more.
