CLA 231 Greek and Roman Mythology
This course will provide an introduction to the major myths of Greece and Rome—including the creation of the cosmos, Olympians and other deities, and human heroes and their exploits—both as they appear in Greek and Roman literature and art and as they are represented in modern art, music, and film. We will also learn several theories about the purpose and function of myth because myth is more than just a set of stories or symbols, it is a complex and nuanced system of representation.
