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.

Of Gods and the City: The Archaeology and History of Mainland Greece, explores ancient Greek history, art, religion, and culture through visits to sites and museums in Athens and the surrounding countryside of Attica as well as Delphi, Olympia, Corinth and Epidauros.

On the Trail of Alexander the Great: Greek Art and Architecture of the Hellenistic Age, explores the life and times of Alexander the Great. The program begins with site and museum visits in Athens before moving north to Thessalonike and Vergina. The Greek island of Samos is a stop before visiting the Turkish cities of Priene and Miletus.

Both courses are intensive, three-week programs of classroom-based seminars and a variety of field-study excursions to prominent, archaeological remains.

These intensive courses are ideal for students of the humanities who have an interest in ancient Greek history, art, religion, and culture. Additionally, life in contemporary Greece will also be discussed.

Cumae I: Goddess and Hero Cult of Latium and Campania, July 1-13

Directors: Patricia Johnston, Brandeis University, Marilyn Skinner, University of Arizona

On this study tour, we propose to visit selected cult sites, focusing on the goddesses Diana, Juno, Cybele and Isis, and the Hero cults associated with them in Latium and Campania. We will examine the original character of the local cult and its relationship to the surrounding community, changes and continuities when it became part of an overarching ìRomanî religious system, and perseverance as a sacred locale after the emergence of Christianity.

Natives and Newcomers in Southern Italy, July 15-27

Directors: Linda Fabrizio, Classical Association of the Empire State & Madeleine Henry,Iowa State

Southern Italy is distinct and distinctive in part because of the presence of the Greek Colonies. In this program we will focus on those Greek colonies, from their foundings through the conquest of Rome and their eventual enfolding into Roman imperium. We will include the interaction of the Greeks with the Italian peoples, as well as with each other, and also investigate how Greek influences persisted (and persist) in South Italy, in language, commerce and culture.

Greeks and Romans in the City: Urbanization in the Shadow of Vesuvius, July 29-August 10

Steven E. Ostrow (MIT) and Ann O. Koloski-Ostrow (Brandeis)

This program will highlight major questions of the urban planning and design that make the enchanted terrain along the Bay of Naples so rich a showcase of Greek and Roman solutions to the problems of daily life in antiquity. We will investigate Graeco-Roman approaches to colonization; the continuity of pre-Greek and pre-Roman settlements with their succeeding inhabitants; problems of functional layout and city planning; connections -- physical, social, economic -- between town and country. The splendid array of ancient Campanian sites offers an unparalleled landscape from which to delve into these questions.

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.

Students will read widely in translation from ancient history, and philosophy.

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.

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.)
