CLAS 205 - Topics in Classical Culture

An introduction to ancient Greek and/or Roman culture through the investigation of a particular topic (e.g. animals in the ancient world; the City Dionysia; agriculture, food, and dining). Students will consider primary evidence on this topic from the Greek and Roman world (ancient Mediterranean) and lengthy time period (circa 800 BCE - 500 CE). They will take a multi-disciplinary approach as they learn to think critically about ancient views on the particular topic, observe the diverse perspectives and experiences of members of the same region or era, and develop an awareness of the complexities of classical culture.
