CLSL 002 - Greece and Rome: Golden Times

Lower Division

Who were the ancient Greeks and Romans? How did they see their place and role in the world around them? This lower-division course serves as a comprehensive introduction to the Greco¬ Roman civilization. It also enables students to explore methodically, through a wide selection of primary texts, various Greek and Roman notions of self and other, mortal and divine, same and different. By the end of the term, students will be able to assess competently the basic assumptions behind the texts and discuss them in light of our own complex assumptions and attitudes.
