Latin Institute -- Summer 2008

Block A (June 9-27) – Intermediate Latin Prose Composition - 1 unit
An intensive course designed for teachers and students who are in need of a general refresher course or who are approaching Roman authors in Latin for the first time. Class time will be dedicated to review of more complex Latin constructions, prose composition, and translation.  This course varies in content from year to year and may be taken more than once.  This summer's course focuses on two great Roman writers, Caesar and Cicero. Readings will center around the figure of Cicero's brother, Quintus, depicted in Caesar's 'Gallic Wars' as a heroic lieutenant and as a notorious governor and contentious husband in Cicero's letters.
Instructor – Alison Orlebeke

Colloquium (The final 2 weeks of block A) .50 units – Latin Teaching Methodology*
Instructor – Richard Beaton

Block B (June 30-July 18) - Vergil
In this intensive Latin reading course, we read extended selections from Vergil’s three canonical works, the Eclogues, the Georgics, and the Aeneid.  Although our primary purpose is improving reading fluency and speed in Vergilian Latin, we will also discuss literary, historical, and grammatical topics that arise.  If you already have editions of these works, please bring them. 
Instructor: Kendrick

Block C (July 21 – August 8) – The Romans* (in English) - 1 unit
The Romans
Focus on Republican and Augustan Rome.  In 31 BC, Octavian, the sole heir to Julius Caesar, defeated Mark Anthony and Cleopatra in the battle of Actium.  This was the final battle in a civil struggle that left him as the sole ruler of an immense European and Mediterranean Empire whose government had been based on a total rejection of one-man rule.  This course is an investigation into how the Roman Republic (509-31 BC), marked by violence and periods of dictatorship in its last 100 years, is reconciled in the early years of Augustus’ Principate.  Selections from Republican and Augustan literature from 50 BC to 14 AD to be read in English.
Instructor – FitzGibbon

Colloquium (Throughout block C) – Catullus .5 units – Selections from the 1st C BC poet to be read in Latin with the intent of keeping up on and improving Latin reading skills.
Instructor  - FitzGibbon

Blocks A and B  - Latin for Beginners* - 2 units
Instructor – Beaton (block A), FitzGibbon (block B)

Classical Roots of Western Literature
CL903-3B
Instructor: Mulligan

Most modern literature is influenced in ways great and small by the works of classical antiquity. While it is improbable that you have attended a gladiatorial game, sacrificed to Zeus, or worn a toga to work, chances are your favorite author has been influenced by someone who has. This course has two main goals: to survey the diversity and power of classical literature and to trace how Greek and Roman literature provides a conscious source of inspiration, as well as a subtle but pervasive influence, on authors throughout history.

Our course will begin by investigating the forms and themes of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey and how later cultures (Roman, Renaissance, and Modern) engaged, manipulated, and emulated these poems. In a similar way, we will examine the classical roots of drama, satire, history, philosophy, and poetry. We will also explore prominent themes from antiquity and how they influence contemporary literature. For example, we may investigate how Kafka's masterful short story, The Metamorphosis, recreates the transformations in Ovid's Metamorphoses, itself a treasure trove of mythology and arguably one of the most influential works ever written. In our quest to develop a broad appreciation of ancient culture and its influence, we will visit the Boston Museum of Fine Art and (schedule permitting) a theatrical performance.

The course will conclude with a series of faculty-mentored projects in which students will be encouraged to reconsider a favorite work - be it T.S. Eliot or J. K. Rowling - in light of their new-found familiarity with the scope and depth of the classical roots of western literature. In past years, students have explored the works of Eudora Welty, F. Scott Fitzgerald, William Faulkner, Sartre, Chinua Achebe, Zora Neale Hurston, and W.H. Auden.

This course is designed for students who are seeking an introduction to classical literature, or those who already have had exposure to classical culture. Readings may include excerpts from, among others: Epic: Homer, Vergil, Dante, Milton, Joyce; Drama: Sophocles, Aristophanes, Plautus, Shakespeare; Poetry: Horace, Juvenal, Swift; Philosophy: Plato, Aristotle, Montesquieu, Nietzsche; Poetry: Sappho, Horace, Ovid, Keats, Tennyson, Walcot

Latin 3100: Reading Latin Prose. Provides a transition for students who have had one year of the language but want more practice reading before moving on to intermediate Latin, or for students who have had studied Latin in the past and wish to begin studying it again. The emphasis will be on reading passages of unadapted Latin prose, both prepared and at sight, as well as review of basic grammar and vocabulary from the second half of Wheelock's Latin.
[5/24-6/11, M-F, 11:15-2:15, 3 credits]

Classics 1042: Greek and Roman Mythology. Intensive myth boot camp, with films and field trips as well as slides,great reading, and small group work to introduce students to the highlights of Greek and Roman mythology.
[5/24-6/11, M-F, 9:05-1:10, 4 credits]

Classics 1005: Ancient Rome: The Roman Revolution This course will survey the Roman world in the period from the death of Julius Caesar to just after the death of the first Roman emperor, Augustus, over half a century later. Few epochs have seen so interesting a cast of characters: the stalwart and tragic Cicero; the calculating and assured Octavian; Cleopatra, the exotic and brilliant queen who "enslaved the two greatest Romans of her time"; Marc Antony, who, according to Shakespeare, had "superfluous kings as his messengers"; Maecenas, who supervised one of Europe's greatest flowerings of literature. And then there are the poets: the shy Vergil, whose work became the schoolbook of Europe as soon as it was published; Horace, who had once fought on the other side; Propertius, who glorified slavery to love; and Ovid, Rome's best example of urban sophistication, who was exiled to an obscure backwater, never to return. We'll trace the bloody struggle for power between the young Octavian and the aging Marc Antony. We'll consider the crises in politics and society which Octavian/Augustus sought to get under control. We'll read the works of several of Rome's greatest writers, and look at the most important monuments the period produced. Finally, we'll see what answers we can find to the big questions the period raises about the ethics of power and the worth, as well as the price, of peace.

Classics 170: Greek and Roman Mythology
Heroes,Monsters, Adventures and Quests, Goddesses and Gods: the syllabus of a course in Classicl Mythology almost sounds like the description of a computer game. Yet for the Greeks and the Romans these myths were the sacred stories which recorded their history, explained their world, and supported their sense of identity as a people. Classics 170 explores the many roles of myth in Classical culture and the perennial fascination which these stories have held ever since.

Classics 470: Advanced Greek and Roman Mythology
Advanced mythology explores the various methodologies which have been developed, from antiquity through our own century, for understanding the puzzling stories we call myths. For example, we will look at Oedipus through Freud's eyes, consider how Prometheus is like the trickster figure of the North American Indians, and consider what Beauty and the Beast has to teach us about Heracles and his wife Dejanira.

HIST 327: The Roman Empire will be offered during either Summer Session I or Summer Session II by Prof. Kenneth Holum.

Note: Steven Rutledge will also offer Classics 309J: Ancient Roman Religion (from Jupiter to Jesus) at our Shady Grove Campus, and Joseph Scholten will offer a Summer Scholars course for gifted and talented secondary school students on classical explorations, but we do not yet know the time period or slots.

STUDY TOUR FOR JUNE 2004 CLAS 100/499 Greece: The Living Legacy
Pittas-Herschbach This three-week course will be taught on location in Greece. Students will be based in Athens --a modern city on the eve of the 2004 Olympiad-- and will take day trips as well as longer excursions to some of the most splendid sites and monuments of antiquity, including Mycenae, Delphi, Epidaurus, the temple of Aphaia in Aigina, Cape Sounion, Eleusis. Readings will focus on key issues (intellectual, artistic, political and philosophical) confronting Athens during the latter half of the fifth century.

Ovid and the Metamorphosis Tradition
This is a junior/senior level Literature course (in English), running 8 am-11 am Mon-Thurs from May 20 to June 19. Taught by Fred Mench, Professor of Classics,

Is change desirable and inevitable? Was Heraclitus right that all is flux? Or was Ecclesiastes correct in stating that "There is nothing new under the sun?"We will trace the original concept of the change of the natural world in creation stories (and its later counterpart, evolution) , through literal changes of human forms in Ovid's Metamorphoses and Apuleius' Golden Ass, to changes in form or being in later literature, song and art. Examples include Greek gods (e.g., Zeus) changing either their own forms for amorous purposes or the forms of humans (e.g., Arachne) for vengeance; inanimate becoming animate (e.g., literally in Pygmalion's statue or socially in My Fair Lady); sentient beings, whether robots (AI) , puppets (Pinocchio) or toys (Velveteen Rabbit) , acquiring human forms or emotions. We will even consider disguise and changing from one identity to another, as in Odysseus, spy stories, most Shakespeare comedies, and impersonations such as Black Like Me. We will examine the conflicting notions of Change or Die and the opposite desire for immutability in a changing world.

Readings include Morford and Lenardon, Classical Mythology; Ovid's Metamorphoses; Apuleius' Golden Ass; assorted films (especially science-fiction), plays (e.g., Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream), short stories (e.g., Bradbury's The Path), poems (e.g., Yeats' Song of the Wandering Aengus) and folk songs (e.g., The Silkie). In the latter part of the term, students will bring in and talk about examples of diverse types that they have found.

Evaluation: Mid-term & final or 3 hour exams (= 60-75 %) plus weekly short papers (=15-20%) and one class presentation (=5-10%) and participation (=5-10%).

Classical Mythology
Discussion of the myths and legends of Greek mythology and of the gods, demigods, heroes, nymphs, monsters, and everyday mortals who played out their parts in this mythology, beginning with Creation, as vividly described by Hesiod in the Theogony, and ending with the great Trojan War and the returns of the Greek heroes, with special emphasis on the return of Odysseus as related by Homer in the Odyssey.

History of Rome: The Empire
In the spring of 44 B.C., Julius Caesar was murdered by a group of senators disgruntled with his monarchic ways. However, Caesar's adoptive son and heir, Octavian, was quickly on the scene and in little more than a decade managed to establish himself as Rome's first emperor. About three centuries later, Constantine the Great would rise to imperial power and with him came a new state religion- Christianity. This course examines the social and political history of the Roman Empire from the time of Augustus to that of Constantine and also closely observes the parallel growth of Christianity.

Ancient Religion: From Paganism to Christianity
The period from the beginning of the Greek religion until the spread of Christianity spans over 2,000 years and many approaches to religious and moral issues. Traces developments such as Olympian gods of Homer and Hesiod; hero worship; public and private religion, views of death, the soul, and afterlife; Dionysus; Epicureanism; and Stoicism. Deals with changes in Greek religion during the Roman republic and early empire and the success of Christians in converting pagans in spite of official prosecution.

SUMMER SESSION I (MAY 18, 1999 - JUNE 25, 1999)

HISTORY OF ANCIENT GREECE

This course will offer a coherent narrative of the history of Ancient Greece from the Mycenaean and Minoan civilizations to the conquests of Alexander the Great. It will address several cultural topics including the beginnings of democracy, the defeat of democratic Athens by oligarchic Sparta, Periclean Athens, the death of Socrates, and the victory of Alexander over Persia. Students will read widely in translation from ancient history, and philosophy.

GREEK AND ROMAN MYTHOLOGY
An introduction to classical mythology through close analysis of selected texts. Topics include: the definition of myth; its social, political, and religious contexts; the variety of methodologies available for its study (e.g. comparative anthropology, structuralism, psychoanalysis); the literary development of myths, divine and heroic; the Roman adaptation of Greek myths; and the relationship of myth to historical, philosophical, and scientific modes of thought. No prior background is required.

INTENSIVE ELEMENTARY CLASSICAL GREEK

SUMMER SESSION II (JUNE 28, 1999 - AUGUST 6, 1999)

ANCIENT ROME

Rome grew from a small city-state in central Italy into an imperial power which claimed to rule the entire civilized world.

This course will offer a narrative of Roman history, and will address significant cultural aspects of Roman society such as: the nature of aristocracy and conflict between rich and poor; the possible role and influence of women (especially aristocratic women) in a traditionally male- oriented martial society; the poets of empire and the use of art as a tool of ideology or propaganda; and the nature of Roman paganism, the early Christian church, and the imperial government's persecution and late adoption of Christianity. We will read primary documents in translation, including works of history, drama, and poetry. Taught by Beth Pollard (elisi@sas.upenn.edu).

Georgetown College

Dig, Study, and Travel in Greece: May 9 - June 5, 1999. Georgetown College's summer 1999 program in northeastern Greece is a unique combination of hands-on archaeology, travel, and academic study of Greek history and culture. This program provides an unforgettable experience, and carries 4 semester hours of upper-level college credit in Anthropology, Classical Studies, History, or Sociology. In the morning, students will work on the excavation of the burial grounds of the ancient city of Pydna, and study their findings in the lab. In the evening, they will attend classes, with lectures and discussions of Greek history, culture, and literature. The course texts are Robert Garland's Daily Life of the Ancient Greeks (1998), and Susan C. Shelmerdine's translation of The Homeric Hymns (Focus, 1995), poems which give fascinating insight into the ancient Greeks' conception of their gods. Day trips are planned to Dion, Mt. Olympos, Vergina, Philippi, the village of Morna, Pella, and Thessaloniki. At the end of the trip students will spend two nights in Athens, visiting the museums, the acropolis, and the agora. The fee includes tuition, air and ground transportation, room and board in a seaside hotel in the resort town of Makrigialos for 24 days, plus travel and health insurance. It does not include books or expenses in Athens. (The fee is TBA; between $4500 - $5500.)
