The primary material for this course will be a selection of readings from three or more different
Latin poets connected by genre (e.g. epic, dramatic, lyric), theme (e.g. heroism and the hero,
the body, the good life), period (e.g. Augustan, late Antique), or the like. Primary readings and
critical approach will vary from year to year, making the course repeatable. Some modern
secondary reading will be assigned to provide a basis for discussion and a model for student
written work.
prereq: [3004 or equiv], at least two yrs of college level Latin. Contact the Classical & Near Eastern Religions & Cultures Department with any questions.
