Do you want to learn about Greek myths, understand their historical and psychological meanings, and discover those which personally speak to you? In this class, we’ll read and discuss fifteen Greek myths as presented by the Roman poet, Ovid in his lyrical, readable classic, Metamorphoses. Class will include mini-lecture, discussion of readings, and viewing clips from films and documentaries. Reading assignments will be approximately 40 enjoyable pages per week. Before the first session, students should obtain Ovid’s Metamorphoses (Mandelbaum, Lombardo or Humphries translation) and read the first chapter.
