Course Description

The exciting thing about Classics is that there is something in it for everyone. It is a
multicultural, interdisciplinary field that provides access to the classical world of Greece
and Rome, through archaeology and art, mythology, philosophy and religion, history and
literature. Classics helps us understand who and why we are, and where we might be
going, and addresses issues that still confront modern states worldwide­­including warfare,
empire building, consensus forging, and political fragmentation. Students of Classics learn
marketable skills that are highly prized by employers in today's volatile job market. How to
read critically, think analytically, and communicate articulately, are three of the skills you
will learn by studying Classics. However, the most likely reason you might choose to study
Classics is because you have discovered the fascination of studying ancient civilizations.
Perhaps you have developed an interest in mythology or the complex social history of the
ancient world. You might want to get your hands dirty excavating a Roman villa, or explore
the Colosseum and gladiatorial combats. Classics 203 is the place to begin.
Topics covered may include: Mythology; Homer’s Odyssey or Iliad; Rome; Pompeii or
Greek Architecture
