Upper Division

Prerequisites
ENGL 005 or instructor approval.

This course studies the political, social and cultural history of ancient Greece and Rome, focusing particularly on the period from the 9th century BC to the end of the 5th century AD. We will examine how the Greek and Roman authors represented the changing economic and political realities of their times, or how they reevaluated earlier historical accounts. The primary sources and scholarly essays will give us an opportunity to compare and assess various interpretations of important episodes, phenomena and figures in Greek and Roman history.
